Human Resources: Tin House New Voice
Autor Josh Goldfadenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2007
Humorous, energetic, and inventive, the stories in Josh Goldfaden’s debut collection are laugh-out-loud funny. Goldfaden’s genius is pushing the limits of absurdity without sacrificing the emotional core of his characters or their stories. A nanny works for a traveling writers colony (his charge is named Camus). A pirate saves up for his own restaurant. A litter specialist tackles the overstuffed homes — and psyches — of the rich. As zany as they come, Goldfaden’s characters seek purpose and community and, every now and again, they find it.
