In this collection, and in her novels "The Giant's House" and "Niagara Falls All Over Again", I ran across sentences that I was compelled to read over and over again. Here's an example: She was about being dead the way some people are about being British--she wasn't, and it seemed she never would be, but it was clearly something she aspired to, since all the people she respected were.

HTML: The singular, enchanting debut story collection from Elizabeth McCracken, now back in print as part of Ecco's "Art of the Story" series, and with a new introduction from the author In "It's Bad Luck to Die" a woman marries an older tattoo artist and finds comfort in agreeing to act as a canvas for his most elaborate work. "Some Have Entertained Angels, Unaware" follows a young girl as she comes face to face with a cast of eccentrics her recently-widowed father has invited to live in their expansive but dilapidated home. And in the title story, a young man and his wife are perplexed when an outspoken old woman shows up on their doorstep for a visit, claiming to be a distant aunt, even though she can't be traced on a family tree. At once captivating and offbeat, Here's Your Hat What's Your Hurry is a dazzling showcase of the early years of Elizabeth McCracken's prodigious talent. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
