Wait Till I Tell You: reissued
Autor Candia McWilliamen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 iul 2011
A
woman
sleeps
rough
on
the
step
of
a
bank,
eating
soap
to
keep
herself
clean
inside
while
the
flowers
on
her
blanket
talk
to
each
other;
two
children
at
a
wake
discover
friendship
over
forbidden
food;
a
husband
and
wife
eat
fish
and
chips
in
their
car
with
the
windscreen
wipers
on
high
speed
just
for
the
fun
of
it.
Carrying
the
reader
from
the
landscape
of
the
author's
native
Scotland
to
the
rivers
and
woodlands
of
England,
these
twenty-four
stories
are
tales
of
unremarkable
lives
and
loves,
remarkably
told.

Recenzii
'Her
words
sparkle
and
fizz.
She's
never
dull
or
conversational.
Her
work
is
like
poetry
in
its
scrupulousness
and
writerly
care,
yet
at
the
same
time
it's
devastatingly
everyday
...
Tuck
into
this
mouthwatering
collection
for
sustenance
and
delight'
'For sheer writerly distinction this year, my palm goes to Candia McWilliam for her collection of short stories'
'The flaunt of the writing asks for admiration ... this is Candia McWilliam at her remarkable best'
'McWilliam is a magically originaly writer, arranging words like sweets, making phrases sumptuously fortuitous'
