Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - "One of the wonderful things about Jimmy & Rita is that Kim Addonizio never imposes herself in any way, so the poems sing themselves into us. We experience the victories and defeats of Jimmy and Rita as they struggle through the boundless claustrophobia of their world. I think of them and there is a sense of sadness within me. Yet I think of what Addonizio has accomplished and I feel joy." - Hubert Selby, Jr.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A middle-schooler attempts to bring a mix tape to a girl he has a crush on, a girl whose star-athlete brother has recently died. A father joins forces with his ex-wife and a renowned intervention specialist to rescue his daughter from a UFO cult. The eight stories that make up Jeremy Griffin's debut are tender glimpses into the sorts of lives most of us know best: lives of wonder dashed with occasional clumsiness, lives lived by people ultimately out to do the very best they can. This is a book of prose so natural and crafted it reads like overheard thoughts. A Last Resort for Desperate People marks the debut of a powerful writer with a distinct, endlessly engaging voice and vision of the world.
