"With an arresting combination of elegant prose and emotional intensity, Adam Haslett's debut collection of short stories, YOU ARE NOT A STRANGER HERE, carries the reader into the hearts and minds of people facing some of life's most profound dilemmas. How to say goodbye to someone you love. How to let go of a secret you've held on to all your adult life. How, in an age of pharmaceutical solutions, to understand the meaning of mental suffering. We meet an aging inventor still burning with ideas as he makes a final visit to his gay son. A psychiatrist's encounter with a reluctant patient reveals a young doctor's own needs and fears. An orphaned boy finds solace in a classmate's violence. The return of an old lover disturbs the peace between a brother and sister who have lived together for decades. [] In settings that range from New England to Great Britain, from Los Angeles to the American West, the nine stories in Haslett's first book treat what Faulkner called the old verities and truths of the heart: love and honor, pity and pride, compassion and sacrifice. They do so with heartbreaking precision and an often generous humor, drawing us past the surface of characters' lives into the moments of decision and recognition that shape them irrevocably. These are stories you will not soon forget." [publisher copy] "Adam Haslett is a wonderful rarity: an old-fashioned young storyteller with something urgent and fresh and fiercely intelligent to say. Haslett's great gifts as a writer--his fearlessness in particular--are a great gift to the reader. You're likely not only to love his stories but to feel stronger for having read them."--Jonathan Franzen. "Spectacular . . . You should buy this book, you should read it, and you should admire it. . . [It] is the herald of a phenomenal career."--The New York Times Book Review. "The characters in this debut collection, many of them gay, many of them depressed, are plagued by the sense that they once had the temerity 'to spear mediocrity in the eye.' Now, dismayed by the niceties of everyday life, they compulsively scrutinize the people around them, as if this could teach them how to live. These muted stories are driven by the moments of crystallization that result: a boy suddenly knows that his brother is going to die; a lonely teen-ager finds relief as the target of a classmate's violence; a self-absorbed, manic-depressive father discovers that he is unable to say goodbye to his son. All this can be a little gloomy, but Haslett is an eloquent, precise miniaturist, and his characters' struggles with their own assumptions collectively provide a fascinating snapshot of life during the era of Prozac, when new ways of thinking about emotion have forced us to adjust our notion of identity and even, perhaps, of grace."--The New Yorker. Unmarked ARC in printed plain wraps, w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued. Collectible.
