Descriere magazin:
NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS\' CHOICE - A collection of raucous stories that offer a vibrant and true mosaic ( The New York Times ) of New Orleans, from the critically acclaimed author of We Cast a Shadow SHORTLISTED FOR THE ERNEST J. GAINES AWARD - LONGLISTED FOR THE STORY PRIZE - ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR-- Garden & Gun, Electric Lit - Every sentence is both something that makes you want to laugh in a gut-wrenching way and threatens to break your heart in a way that you did not anticipate.--Robert Jones, Jr., author of T he Prophets , in The Wall Street Journal Maurice Carlos Ruffin has an uncanny ability to reveal the hidden corners of a place we thought we knew. These perspectival, character-driven stories center on the margins and are deeply rooted in New Orleanian culture. In Beg Borrow Steal, a boy relishes time spent helping his father find work after coming home from prison; in Ghetto University, a couple struggling financially turns to crime after hitting rock bottom; in Before I Let Go, a woman who\'s been in NOLA for generations fights to keep her home; in Fast Hands, Fast Feet, an army vet and a runaway teen find companionship while sleeping under a bridge; in Mercury Forges, a flash fiction piece among several in the collection, a group of men hurriedly make their way to an elderly gentleman\'s home, trying to reach him before the water from Hurricane Katrina does; and in the title story, a young man works the street corners of the French Quarter, trying to achieve a freedom not meant for him. These stories are intimate invitations to hear, witness, and imagine lives at once regional but largely universal, and undeniably New Orleanian, written by a lifelong resident of New Orleans and one of our finest new writers.
