Produktbeschreibung
In these eight masterful stories, Lorrie Moore, explores the passage of time, and summons up its inevitable sorrows and comic pitfalls. In ´Debarking´, a newly divorced man tries to keep his wits about him as the US prepares to invade Iraq. In ´Foes´, a political argument goes grotesquely awry as the events of 9/11 unexpectedly manifest at a fundraising dinner in Georgetown. In ´The Juniper Tree´, a teacher, visited by the ghost of her recently deceased friend, is forced to sing ´The Star Spangled Banner´ in a kind of nightmare reunion. And in ´Wings´, we watch the unraveling of two once-hopeful musicians, who neither held fast to their dreams, nor struck out along other paths. Gimlet-eyed social observation, the public and private absurdities of American life, dramatic irony, and enduring half-cracked love wend their way through each of these narratives, in Moore´s characteristic style that is always tender, never sentimental and often heartbreakingly...
