The Lone Pilgrim

Autor Laurie Colwin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 iun 2021
A trove of short story delights, from the beloved author who has single-handedly revitalized the short story (Los Angeles Times). In this wickedly entertaining collection of short stories, Laurie Colwin--author of Home Cooking and Happy All the Time--lets loose, probing further the themes that have preoccupied her for her entire career. Across these thirteen tales are stories about love and romance, about growth and change, and about the complications of being human. Marked by the same wit and compassion that define all of her writing, The Lone Pilgrim showcases Colwin at her very best.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'Colwin is a bard of burgeoning adulthood' New Yorker

Polly has been the house pet to several families: friendly, cheerful, good with children, happy to bask in the domesticity of other people's lives - until she meets Gilbert.

Cordy, raised with the spartan, pleasure-rejecting habits of the very rich, cannot stomach the pleasures of his beloved Jane's cooking, her lavender soap, her adoration.

And Ann, the perpetually stoned young wife of a popular college professor, tries to find the courage to tell her husband that she's been high since the day they met.

Humorous, tender and moving, here are tales of love and desire in all its forms, with each story told in Laurie Colwin's irresistible, inimitable style.

A W&N Essential
