Book Description
As a child, Nathan Graham was convinced he would one day lead a worry-free existence filled with independence and acclaim. Unfortunately for him, his goals have yet to be realized. In his collection of humorous essays, Graham shares stories from a life paved with weird and quirky characters, including suicidal survivalists; hollow celebrity look-alikes; meandering men of God; and hapless, blathering fools. Graham begins with the story of his first whippin' at age five, when he was lured into the sinful experience of climbing a tree all for the sake of securing a few immoral licks of a peppermint candy cane. With a fresh and only slightly jaded voice, Graham shares an unforgettable, amusing glimpse into a unique coming-of-age journey, in which he quickly learned compassion, consolation, manners, card tricks, retribution, and how to foxtrot. But it is only after deep reflection that he realizes the biggest lesson of all: Tolerance. The Heartbreak of Conversation and Why Men Should Never Wear Pretty Stockings offers one man's laugh-out-loud reflections as he discovers the real keys to success: A clear conscience, a healthy demeanor, and the willingness to always look at the funny side of life.

Varieties of Exile
Author: Mavis Gallant
Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 9781590170601
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
Mavis Gallant is the modern master of what Henry James called the international story, the fine-grained evocation of the quandaries of people who must make their way in the world without any place to call their own. The irreducible complexity of the very idea of home is especially at issue in the stories Gallant has written about Montreal, where she was born, although she has lived in Paris for more than half a century. Varieties of Exile, Russell Banks's extensive new selection from Gallant's work, demonstrates anew the remarkable reach of this writer's singular art. Among its contents are three previously uncollected stories, as well as the celebrated semi-autobiographical sequence about Linnet Muir—stories that are wise, funny, and full of insight into the perils and promise of growing up and breaking loose.
