Textul de pe ultima copertă

In this appealing collection of fourteen interrelated stories, twelve-year-old William Stroup recounts the ludicrous predicaments and often self-imposed hardships his family endures. Playing on the tension between his hardworking, sensible mother and his disarmingly likable but shiftless and philandering father, William tells of Pa's flirtation with a widow, his swapping match with a band of gypsies, his battle of wits with a traveling silk-tie saleswoman, and his get-rich-quick schemes based on selling Ma's old love letters and collecting scrap iron.

Descriere

In this collection of 14 interrelated stories, 12-year-old William Stroup recounts the ludricrous predicaments and often self-imposed hardships his family endures. Beneath the book's folksy lightheartedness, however, lie the problems of indigence, racism, and apathy that Caldwell confronted repeatedly in his fiction.
