Milk and Other Stories

Autor Simon Fruelund Traducere de K. E. Semmel
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2013
The 14 stories in this collection display the often quiet, inconspicuous way in which terrible truths and experiences are intimated: the death of a sailboarder makes a widower see deeper into love and loss; a young poet visits his former teacher only to discover he is literally not the person he used to be; a middle-aged man glimpses the terrible humdrum of his third marriage as his son embarks on a new chapter in his life. Conveyed without grandeur or pathos, the revelations in these minimalist stories demonstrate clearly and effectively Fruelund's gift of subtlety and nuance; like scenes from life, characters' dramas are played out in brief but brilliant flashes. Ranging across the wide arc of human experience, from the comic to the tragic, each piece explores the complex emotions of the human heart.

Recenzii

"Frueland is a master of the short form, importing some designs from our own Raymond Carver, applying them to the interstices of the European everyday, and making them his own. The title story is a masterpiece in miniature." --Alan Cheuse, All Things Considered
"This consistently beautiful book has a quietness that recalls the stark Danish countryside, the stories' primary setting. In the most memorable vignettes, Fruelund's short bursts of sentences express inner turmoil so nuanced as to be incognito." -- Publisher's Weekly
