Descriere & specificații

These 10 short stories explore loss and sacrifice in American suburbia. In idyllic suburbs across the country, narrators struggle to find meaning or value in their lives because of--or in spite of--something that has happened in their pasts. nThese ten stories take us across the country--from rural Pennsylvania to Southern California to suburban Connecticut--and deep into characters struggling to find meaning in their day-to-day lives. The Theory of Light and Matter is a stunningly astute vision of contemporary American suburbia, full of tension, heartbreak, and emotional complexity--the work of an important new voice. nLong Listed for the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award nForeWord Magazine Book of the Year, Short Fiction n nOne of the Best Books of the Year nKansas City Star - San Antonio Express-News nn
