Descriere magazin:
Ball is the thrilling and emotionally provocative debut collection of short fiction by the acclaimed author of the novels Rockaway and A Child Out of Alcatraz and the essay collection Reeling through Life . Ball explores the darker edges of love and sex and death, how they are intimately and often violently connected, with bright, vivid stories set mostly in contemporary Los Angeles. In "Cactus," a young girl comes to fear the outside world following the freakish, accidental death of her adventure-seeking, naturalist boyfriend in the California desert; in "Wig," a woman must help her best friend face life-threatening cancer while covering up an unseemly affair with her friend\'s husband; in "Fish," the narrator sits watch over a dying uncle, trying to pay for past sins while administering to his final needs, but distracted by the ravenous fish in the Koi pond near the hospital; and in the collection\'s stunning title story, the bonds of friendship and pet ownership collide in the most startling and unexpected ways. With a keen insight into the edges of human behavior and an assured literary hand, Ball is the new book by one of the West\'s most provocative stylists. About the Author: Tara Ison is the author of the novels The List , A Child Out of Alcatraz , a Finalist for The Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and Rockaway , selected as a "2013 Best Books of Summer" by O Magazine . Her short fiction and essays have appeared in Tin House , The Kenyon Review , Nerve.com, Publishers Weekly , and numerous anthologies. She is the co-author of the cult film "Don\'t Tell Mom the Babysitter\'s Dead."
