Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The unnamed protagonist in this fast-paced, autofictional Bildungsroman experiences a memorial journey through touchstones in his life after suffering a debilitating heart attack. Moving in and out of illusion and reality, on this reflective adventure he encounters seminal events, unusual personalities, and disturbing ghosts that help define his essence and that take him from humble origins through precarious childhood, vexing adolescence, exceptional education, troubled family life, and successful professional career. In a sweeping panorama, his story moves from the American South, to the Midwest, to the Southwest, to Europe, and back to the East Coast. Ultimately humbled by the acute awareness of his own mortality, in a scintillating meditation he comes to see his life epitomized in the woe and wonder of Job and the miraculous salvation of Jonah.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In the tradition of Joyce's Dubliners, Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, and the Southern grotesque, this topographical cycle of twelve discrete but interrelated short stories explores the patterns of power that permeate the lives of more than thirty characters in the mythological town of Elsburg, U.S.A. Opening with the ill-fated life of a young faith-healing preacher, including the portrait of a fundamentalist octogenarian barber, and concluding with the struggle of an eccentric centenarian physician who stills wants to practice his profession, this cycle of narratives, told in a variety of styles often reminiscent of Southern authors like Faulkner, O'Connor, Porter, and Welty, exposes a vibrant and latent phantasmagorical world that subtly intrigues, fascinates, and, at times, startles the reader.
