Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In these unforgettable stories, the acclaimed author of Imagine Me Gone explores lives that appear shuttered by loss and discovers entire worlds hidden inside them. The impact is at once harrowing and thrilling. An elderly inventor, burning with manic creativity, tries to reconcile with his estranged gay son. A bereaved boy draws a thuggish classmate into a relationship of escalating guilt and violence. A genteel middle-aged woman, a long-time resident of a psychiatric hospital, becomes the confidante of a lovelorn teenaged volunteer. Told with Chekhovian restraint and compassion, and conveying both the sorrow of life and the courage with which people rise to meet it, You Are Not a Stranger Here is a triumph of storytelling. Nine stories of surpassing maturity, poise, and intelligence that dramatize sometimes harrowing psychological situations with astonishing emotional effect. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9780385720724
