图书描述

From Publishers Weekly Canin's outstanding debut, winner of a Houghton Mifflin Literary Fellowship, gathers nine stories originally published in the Atlantic, Esquire and Ploughshares, among others; two were selected for the Best American Short Stories 1985 and 1986. At 27, the gifted author, a Harvard Medical School student who was a creative writing instructor and an Iowa Review editor, informs a technical expertise with a keen sense of the dynamics of the human psyche. His far-reaching vision encompasses "The Year of Getting to Know Us," where the protagonist recognizes in himself aspects of his father's disturbing uncommunicativeness, and "American Beauty," where a teenager cannot escape his bitter older brother's grim prescription of life's inevitabilities: "You're going to turn into a son of a bitch, just like me." Several of the marvelous tales showcase love's singular, redemptive powers: an elderly couple revives their comatose relationship in "We Are Nighttime Travelers"; a daughter bribes a guard to release her mother who is caught shoplifting in "Pitch Memory"; and a straight-arrow husband lies for his wife in "Where We Are Now." With a fine attention to detail, Canin continually surprises readers as he casts the mundane in new light (for example, the young narrator of "Star Food" unloads bags of potato chips in their aluminum racks "as if I were putting children to sleep in their beds"). Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Library Journal This collection is the deserving winner of a Houghton Mifflin Literary Fellowship. The nine stories show their young author to be a worthy successor to such distinguished past winners as Philip Roth, Elizabeth Bishop, and Robert Penn Warren. Writing primarily in the first person, Canin speaks convincingly in a variety of fictional voices: a deprived Iowa teenager, a 69-year-old astronomy teacher, a troubled husband in southern California, a young woman harried by her mother's disappointments. Canin's ordinary Americans are memorable individuals caught in situations leading to sudden, still moments of comprehension. This is an engrossing achievement, recommended for all fiction collections.Starr E. Smith, Georgetown Univ.
