Descriere What I Didn't See and Other Stories - Karen Joy Fowler

\nWorld Fantasy Award Winner \nShirley Jackson Awards shortlist \nLocus Award shortlist \nStory Prize Notable Books \nFrank O'Connor Award longlist \nBeautifully written and subtly discomforting stories.--Nancy Pearl\n \nAn exceptionally versatile author.--St. Louis Post-Dispatch \n \nIn her moving and elegant new collection, New York Times bestseller Karen Joy Fowler writes about John Wilkes Booth's younger brother, a one-winged man, a California cult, and a pair of twins, and she digs into our past, present, and future in the quiet, witty, and incisive way only she can. \n \nThe sinister and the magical are always lurking just below the surface: for a mother who invents a fairy-tale world for her son in Halfway People; for Edwin Booth in Booth's Ghost, haunted by his fame as America's Hamlet and his brother's terrible actions; for Norah, a rebellious teenager facing torture in the World Fantasy and Shirley Jackson Award winner The Pelican Bar as she confronts Mama Strong, the sadistic boss of a rehabilitation facility; for the narrator recounting her descent in What I Didn't See. \n \nWith clear and insightful prose, Fowler's stories measure the human capacities for hope and despair, brutality and kindness. This collection, which includes two Nebula Award winners and stories which have been significantly rewritten since first publication, is sure to delight readers, even as it pulls the rug out from underneath their feet.\n
