Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. interesting that the author is from NJ as several of the stories seems to be UK based. Most are about domestic life - divorce, pregnancy, mistrust. Robbed and Exit Interview were the best for me. ( ) Really disappointing. The reviews are great and it is a National Book Award Finalist so I had high hopes. The stories are well written, but the actions of the characters are completely unimaginable. Melodrama turned up a notch is parody, and this really isn't good parody. People don't talk like this or act like this. So many better short stories out there, this can easily go on the "pass" pile. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"Few writers have been as enthusiastically hailed as was Ellen Currie when her short fiction first appeared in The New Yorker and other publications in the late 1950s. Twenty-five years later, her first novel, Available Light, appeared - and, as critics and readers were quick to assert, was well worth the wait." "With Moses Supposes, Currie renews her reputation as a peerless chronicler of the free-floating malice and unintended comedy of domestic life. In the title story, a young newlywed's unexpected pregnancy makes her marriage suddenly, unbearably real. In "The Solution to Canned Peas," a couple try but fail to transcend the habits of mistrust. In "Slim Young Woman in No Distress," a mother braves her precocious son's wrath at her divorce. In "Exit Interview," an advertising executive contemplates the eclipse of his future by family tragedies he is helpless to prevent or to articulate." "Rife with the ill luck, high drama, and poetry of the Irish, these dozen magical tales illuminate the mysteries at the heart of childhood, marriage, parenthood, and aging. They are sure to lift Currie to new heights of literary acclaim."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
