Biografía del autor:
Julie Orringer's dazzling first book is less a story collection than a guide to life in a hostile world. In 'The Isabel Fish' Maddy is a canker in her brother Sage's life and while she attempts not to drown in the scuba-diving class at the local swimming pool, he painfully confronts the loss of his first girlfriend. In 'Note to Sixth-Grade Self' a young girl offers tips on how to get through school, its desperate humiliations and its gentle surprises. In 'Care' a young woman shows us just how many wrong ways there are to take care of a six-year-old on a hot day by the sea, while 'Stations of the Cross' warns of the dangers of mixing religion with adolescent games.
Julie Orringer's characters struggle mightily against the engulfing forces that threaten to overtake us all. In these stories that sing with compassion and humanity all of them finally learn, gloriously if at great cost, how to breathe underwater.
Julie Orringer was born in 1974 and grew up in New Orleans and Ann Arbor, Michigan. She is a graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop and Cornell University. Her stories have appeared in several publications including The Paris Review, The Yale Review and Best New American Voices. Julie Orringer lives in San Francisco where she is currently at work on a novel. How to Breathe Underwater is her first book.

Buchbeschreibung Zustand: Muy bueno. The instructor begins the countdown. I grip the bench. The flippers on my feet are cold and awkward. Somewhere at the other end of the pool, my brother Sage is watching. 'Go!' cries the instructor, and I push back off the bench. There is a whirling moment as the high-up natatorium ceiling flies by, and then I plunge backward into the cold shock of water and sink almost immediately. My arms and legs go numb with panic, and my mouth fills with the bleach-taste of pool water. It feels like I'm going down to that place where I was before, the cold dark pond on that November night . . .EAN: 9780670914579 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Título: How to Breathe Underwater: StoriesEditorial: - Peso: 276.
