Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Set mostly in the American South, at the crossroads of a world both secular and devoutly Christian, April Ayers Lawson's stories evoke the inner lives of young women and men navigating sexual, emotional, and spiritual awakenings. In 'The Negative Effects of Homeschooling', Conner, sixteen, accompanies his grieving mother to the funeral of her best friend Charlene, a woman who was once a man. In 'The Way You Must Play Always', Gretchen, a thirteen year old who looks even younger, heads into her weekly piano lesson in nervous anticipation of her next illicit meeting with her teacher's brother, Wesley. 'Vulnerability' charts the edgy attraction a promising young artist begins to feel for her art dealer. And in the title story, 'Virgin', Jake grapples with the growing chasm between him and his wife, Sheila, a woman who was still a virgin when they wed. At a cocktail party thrown by a wealthy donor to his hospital, he ponders the intertwining imperatives of marriage - sex and love, violation and trust, spirituality and desire - even as he finds himself succumbing to the temptations of his host. Self-assured and sensual, this collection introduces the work of a young writer of unusual mastery. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Condición: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Un joven médico y su jovencísima esposa acuden a la cena de una benefactora que va a donar dinero al hospital donde él trabaja, y a partir del triángulo de esa velada emergen la virginidad, una desastrosa luna de miel, el fantasma de los abusos sexuales, los celos enfermizos. . . ; tres amigas tumbadas en sus hamacas hablan de novios, maridos y exmaridos; una niña de trece años acude a tomar clases de piano con su profesora particular, abre una puerta indebida y se encuentra con una escena perturbadora; un adolescente educado en un entorno muy puritano acompaña a su madre al entierro de una amiga que antes fue hombre; una joven pintora inicia una relación profesional con un marchante de Nueva York que no tardará en confesarle sus más íntimas obsesiones. . . Cinco relatos portentosos que nos descubren la voz arrolladora de una joven escritora con un universo propio, impregnado de sexualidad, obsesiones religiosas, deseos, tabúes, secretos, fijaciones eróticas y sentimientos de culpa. El escenario de la mayoría de las historias es el Sur de los Estados Unidos, y el estilo denso y turbador de la autora hace pensar en aquel gótico sureño de Carson McCullers y Flannery O?Connor. Pocas veces un debut literario alcanza cotas de perfección tan altas y sobre todo permite descubrir un estilo tan personal en tal grado de madurez. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Leichte Risse. Dieses Buch fordert dazu auf, ihm in die Augen zu schauen, auch wenn das gefährlich sein kann. Die Geschichten von April Ayers Lawson erkunden die Trennungen und Verbindungen zwischen Männern und Frauen: Kunst und Begehren, Macht und Missbrauch, Eifersucht und Selbstbetrug. Sie zeigen das Drama, das entsteht, wenn Menschen und Fantasien aufeinandertreffen. Beispielsweise versuchen eine Malerin und ein Galerist, sich durch eine riskante Affäre von ihrer Vergangenheit zu befreien. Drei Freundinnen in einer Hängematte reflektieren über ihre bisherigen Beziehungen, während Jake, ein junger Mann, seiner Frau aus Eifersucht auf einer Party folgt und sich selbst verliert. Connor hingegen liebt die Aktzeichnungen des Malers Wyeth mit der gleichen Intensität, mit der er seine Mutter Charlene, die nun beerdigt wird und einst ein Mann war, verachtet. Lawson möchte genau hinsehen und zuhören, wenn Männer von den Frauen in ihrem Leben erzählen, um zu verstehen, was Mannsein bedeutet und was passiert, wenn sie darin scheitern. Ihre Geschichten sind direkt und ungeschützt und bieten einen sinnlichen, offenen und aufrichtigen Blick auf die Versuchung. Ein beeindruckendes Debüt.
