Inhaltsangabe
"Precise, moving writinga powerful and compelling collection."Joseph Hurka, author ofFields of Light
"The unadorned sentences often reach a conclusion whose truth makes you catch your breath. This unpretentious book is the work of a master."Edith Pearlman, National Book Award finalist
"One of the most compelling stories published [by the Yale Review]. . . . A thoughtful, reflective, sensitive, and graceful work."Kai Erikson, former editor,The Yale Review
These are stories of unexpected encounters far from home, told with a vivid sense of place. A white man with more wives than money becomes Africa's least-competent thief, two Americans contemplate love's costs and possibilities in Mexico's mountains, a seasick missionary bumps into God on the equator. George Rosen's characters seek, and sometimes find, a reality in which "everywhere, there is something remarkable."

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
George Rosen was born in Chicago and educated at Harvard. He was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Kenya, which served as the setting for his 1990 novel, Black Money (Scarborough House), called by Kirkus Reviews a sophisticated, rich, and tantalizing portrait of East Africa” and by Library Journal a strong study of power that corrupts at every level and of idealism that persists.” He’s also worked as a political speechwriter, a high-school debate coach, a low-income-housing consultant, and a semiprofessional actor. His short stories have appeared, among other places, in Harper’s, the Yale Review, the Harvard Review, and a Harcourt Brace anthology of crime fiction, A Matter of Crime. Rosen has reported on West Africa for the Atlantic, on Mexico for the Boston Globe, and writes frequently for the Globe’s op-ed page. He has been a radio commentator for the Boston NPR station, WBUR, and taught writing at Tufts University. His awards include the Frank O’Connor Memorial Award, two fellowships from the Artists Foundation, and most recently, a Fellowship in Fiction from the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

Soft Cover. Zustand: As New. First Printing. Publisher's glossy wraps. Rosen's seven tales find characters coping with everyday realitieslove, death, parenthood, and faithas well as wide-ranging internal observations and provocations large and small. In the tender A Second Language, Albert Benson ventures to Oaxaca, Mexico, to immerse himself in the country and take Spanish lessons. While there, he meets Maria, who is accompanying her elderly mother on vacation, and the two form a meandering relationship that reawakens the prospects of love as well as its haunting memories. The title tale follows a mission boat on its way to Africa in the mid-1800s. When one missionary becomes seasick, he begins to reconsider his connection to God as well as his intentions to fulfill his service, much to the chagrin of his fellow missionaries. With A Good White Hunter, a displaced Englishman living in Africa finds himself unintentionally married to three women. Unable to pay for his many children's school fees, he attempts a slipshod robbery of his employer's store.
