Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The people in these eight stories all travel across the divide between the familiar and the foreign. For some it is a geographical journey, for others it's psychological. In most it's both. In this arresting collection, a survivor of the Chinese Cultural Revolution arrives forty years later at a U.S. university, where his ability to teach in English is tested. A small town's butterfly sanctuary conjures for an old woman disturbing memories of the Mayan ruins at Tikal and the civil war in Guatemala. A German bride makes the crossing from the smoke-stained city of her birth to the presumed paradise of 1913 Honolulu. A young family from the green farmland of the Midwest becomes lost in the arid mountains of New Mexico. A child raised in the shadow of Buchenwald ends up as a soldier in the jungles of Vietnam. These and other stories evoke a keen empathy with characters caught in confounding circumstances.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This unique collection is a blend of stories-some weighty, some light-along with monologues and dialogues drawn from the author's stint as a solo performer and writer of satirical sketch comedy. An ice tray that elicits fury, a family feud over adult diapers, a witch's curse on sociopathic politicians, a sentimental send-off at a crematorium-these are just a few of the appetizers at the buffet called A Little Something for Everyone.'Stories and dialogues, realism and fabulism all sit together in this fiction collection. . Kasten's prose is measured and understated, building inevitably to some colorful moment of outburst. With the exception of one long (and good) story, the pieces are generally short, and their variety is a feature, not a bug. . [The] author always manages to find the human fault lines in her narratives, revealing them to readers before hurrying on to the next episode. A multifaceted and highly enjoyable assemblage of tales in different forms.'-Kirkus Reviews.…
