Little Follies takes us back to Peter Leroy's memories of childhood, growing up in the 50s. Each chapter was previously a short story and put together they pay homage to a classic American boyhood. There are nine novellas in all: My Mother Takes a Tumble, Do Clams Bite?, Life on the Bolotomy, The Static of the Spheres (my favorite), The Fox and the Clam, The Girl with the White Fur Muff, Take the Long Way Home, Call Me Larry and The Young Tars. Every story is so honest you get the sense there is a little (or a lot) of Eric Kraft's own childhood in each one. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la sériePeter Leroy (book 1)
"Clever, anecdotal, suspenseful, and funny." Anna Shapiro, The New Yorker To read a sample, click ""Preview"" below the cover image. Peter Leroy explores one of his earliest memories (his mother's tumble from her lawn chair); probes the root causes of his childhood pelecypodophobia (fear of bivalve mollusks, particularly clams); navigates the upper reaches of the Bolotomy River; builds a radio receiver and explores the farthest reaches of the galaxy; ponders the differences between dour foxes and happy clams; falls in love with the girl with the white fur muff; learns the pleasures of skating on ice and taking the long way home; becomes a fan of the Larry Peters Adventure series; and rises to the rank of Aluminum Commodore in the Young Tars. "It generates its own reality, and it's profoundly funny." David Chute, The Los Angeles Times "Tiny and enormous, full of mystery and wonder." Robert Plunket, The New York Times Book Review "Strikingly new." Walter Kendrick, The Village Voice Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
