商品簡介
"Braverman possesses a magical, incantatory voice and the ability to lift ordinary lives into the heightened world of myth."—New York Times
A thirteen-year-old girl must choose between her Grammy Award–winning mother in Beverly Hills or her pot-growing father in the Allegheny Mountains. Dr. Bernie Roth and his wife Chloe reside in a grand hacienda in La Jolla. Their children are in college, and their disappointments are profound. But Bernie has his doctor's bag of elixirs for the regrets of late middle age. Mrs. Barbara Stein, a high school teacher, looks like she'd sacrifice her life for Emily Dickinson's honor. That's camouflage—Mrs. Stein actually spends summers in the Sisyphean search for her prostitute daughter in Los Angeles.
These are some of the tales told in Kate Braverman's audacious new story collection. These furious and often hilarious tableaus of American family life remind us of why she has been seducing readers ever since her debut novel Lithium for Medea shook the literary world nearly forty years ago.
Kate Braverman is the author of a memoir, four novels, two story collections, and four books of poetry. She is the recipient of the Economist Prize, an Isherwood Fellowship, and the O'Henry Award. Her classic short fiction has appeared in Ben Marcus's New American Short Stories, Tobias Wolfe's The Vintage Book of Contemporary American Short Stories, McSweeney's, Best American, Carver, The Paris Review, and numerous esteemed anthologies and award-winning collections. She lives in the Bay Area.
