Things You Should Know Paperback / softback
by A.M. (Y) Homes
Paperback / softback
Description
Things You Should Know is a collection of dazzling stories by one of the most talented and daring young American writers, whose distinctive narratives demonstrate how extraordinary the ordinary can be.
A woman pursues an unconventional strategy for getting pregnant; a former First Lady shows despair and courage in dealing with her husband's Alzheimer's; a teacher's list of 'things you already should know but maybe are a little dumb, so you don't' becomes an obsession for someone who wasn't at school the day it was given out; and adult tragedy intrudes into a childhood friendship.
The stories are full of magic and strangeness and humour, but also demonstrate an uncanny emotional accuracy and compassion.
