Descripción de contraportada
Beasts and Children is utterly original and true-hearted, a clear-eyed exploration of the natural world and our own delightfully flawed human relationships. The spirit of Flannery O Connor resides in this collection of stories; Beasts and Children is the literary debut of a major talent.
Nickolas Butler, author of Shotgun Lovesongs
In a great tradition of gimlet-eyed observers, Beasts and Children cuts into the heart of the American family
The Bowmans are declining Texas gentry, heirs to an airline fortune, haunted by a patriarch s stuffed trophies and lost dreams. The Fosters are diplomats kids who might as well be orphans; privileged amid poverty, they are powerless to change the lives of those around them and uncertain whether they can change their own. The Guzmans have moved between Colombia and the United States for two generations, each seeking opportunity for the next, only to find that the American dream can be as crushing as it is enchanting.
Wry and subversive, Beasts and Children keeps loving watch over the lives of three families as their lives unwind and interweave in surprising, unforgettable ways.
I was struck not only by Amy Parker s incisive and skillfully crafted sentences but by the depth and integrity with which she treats every one of her characters. A beautiful and engaging debut.
Molly Antopol, author of The Unamericans
Intense, beautiful, and true, the stories in Beasts and Children speak to that catastrophe known as childhood. Parker proves herself an unflinching, passionate, and profoundly humane writer, even as she holds a knife to your heart.
Michelle Huneven, author of Blame
Amy Parker has a gift for uncloaking the mysteries of her characters, particularly the children, who themselves struggle to uncloak the mysteries of the great big world of other minds into which they ve been born. I was moved and fascinated by this book.
Kevin Brockmeier, author of The Brief History of the Dead
AMY PARKER is a graduate of Indiana University and the Iowa Writers Workshop, and was a Michener Fellow at the University of Texas, Austin. She spent her childhood overseas among the diplomatic corps and is ordained in the Soto Zen monastic lineage. She lives in Wichita, Kansas.
