GUNN, KIRSTY This Place You Return to is Home
New York, Grove Press. 2000, First paperback edition. (ISBN: 0802136826) Mass Market Paperback , 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. AS NEW. "With just two novels, the author of Rain and The Keepsake has received international acclaim and established herself as a uniquely powerful, evocative, and significant voice - 'a young master' in the words of the Los Angeles Times. Now Kirsty Gunn gives us a collection of short stories that astonishes with the resonant spareness and lyricism of her craft. In these stories, mothers escape to remote country villages, making prisoners of their children. A young man is made an indentured servant by his father, his violence atoning for loneliness. A wife comes to fear the closeness of her own husband's attentions. Haunted by the past, these stories explore the paradox of home as a place of both departure and return, comprising a range of voices portrayed with breathtaking skill. This Place You Return to Is Home cements Kirsty Gunn's reputation as one of our most talented writers." - Publisher. Fine.
