Sobre este artículo
Evanston, Illinois, U.S.A.: Triquarterly Books, Northwestern University Press, 2004. First Edition, First Printing . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Finalist for the the 2004 National Book Award. Highly praised, but little-know first novel (reportedly only 150 copies were sold prior to nomination). Schutt's first book was a critically acclaimed book of stories. As with many university press books, this book reportedly had a very small first printing which is sold out. DJ in archival mylar Brodart protector. NO remainder marks, NOT price clipped, NO bumped corners, NEVER read. Carefully wrapped in both white plain paper and bubble wrap to PREVENT shipping damage.
Sinopsis
In this elegiac and luminous novel, which John Ashbery called "an amazing achievement" and Mary Gordon dubbed "a wholly original endeavor," Christine Schutt gives voice to the feast of memory, the mystery of the mad and missing, and the power of words. Set in the Midwest, where Florida represents a faraway paradise, this novel tells the story of Alice Fivey. Fatherless since she was seven, Alice is left in the care of her relatives at the age of ten, when her mother, whose "toenails winked in the foil bed we knew for Florida," is institutionalized. Alice is moved from place to place, remaining still while others try to mold her into someone different from her mother. She consoles herself with books and becomes a storyteller herself as she moves into adulthood, ever further from the desolation of her mother's actions and closer to the meaning of her own experience. Told in brief scenes of spare beauty, Florida is a graceful and gripping tale of family, forgiveness, and creation of the self.
