I thought it was amazing, and this one was just as good. I love her writing style. Her writing style is very gritty and realistic, and I can really get into her stories because of it. It's hard to explain. "The Apple's Bruise" is a book of short stories, but with these stories, you're pretty much dropped right in the middle of these people's lives, their discussions, their arguments, their problems, and that's it. That's all you get. You don't get to see the beginning or the end, which makes many of them rather disturbing. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
From the bestselling author of A Girl Becomes a Comma Like That, a moving, disturbing, and utterly original collection of stories that examine a universe where memory and fact collide, and the imagination fills in the gaps left behind. The stories in The Apple's Bruise take a smart and unflinching look at love, frailty, and happiness and prove beyond doubt that Glatt is a modern master at blending heartbreak and hilarity. In "Dirty Hannah Gets Hit by a Car," a seven-year-old girl bullied by a neighbor across the street gains strength after a serious accident; in "Animals," a zoo veterinarian from a family of butchers tries at once to deal with his marital problems and the high rate at which his animals are dying; and in "Soup," a young widow tries to reconcile her feelings for her teenage son's friend, the town delinquent. With tenderness, insight, and humor, Glatt casts her gaze simultaneously on the beauty and the absurdity of our humanity, creating unforgettable portrayals of unusual characters and the complexities of desire and fidelity that compel them.
