The Missing Kidney and Other Stories: And Other Stories - Maxine Rosaler

Descriere The Missing Kidney and Other Stories: And Other Stories - Maxine Rosaler

Set in the grungy New York City of the 1970s and '80s, these stories convey a sense of the enchantment that lurks on the flip side of every moment, as if the meaning of life were hidden within the static being blasted out of the loudspeakers on a subway platform, or a scrap of newspaper preserved under ice on a cold winter's day. \n \n\n \nA girl tries to save the boy she loves from his crippling love for his uncle. A champion of social justice talks herself into believing that the man she finds sexually repulsive is a perfect fit for her perfectly ordered life. A man kneels on the sidewalk before a memorial he constructed for his girlfriend as a crowd of curious onlookers gather around him. Rosaler deals out the fates of her characters with unflagging energy, wit and a delight in the details of city life. \n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n
