Krátky popis
Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2024 'Any book by Yiyun
Li is a cause for celebration' SIGRID NUNEZ 'One of our finest
living authors' NEW YORK TIMES 'Bruising, beautiful' GUARDIAN A
dazzling new collection of short stories written over a decade,
spanning loss, alienation, ageing and the strangeness of
contemporary life – from Yiyun Li, the prize-winning author of The
Book of Goose A grieving mother makes a spreadsheet of everyone
she’s lost. A professor develops a troubled intimacy with her
hairdresser. And every year, a restless woman receives an email
from a strange man twice her age and several states away.In Yiyun
Li’s stories, people strive for an ordinary existence until doing
so becomes unsustainable, until the surface cracks and grand
mysterious forces – death, violence, estrangement – come to light.
And even everyday life is laden with meaning, studded with
indelible details: a filched jar of honey, a mound of wounded ants,
a photograph kept hidden for many years, until it must be seen. Li
is a breathtakingly original writer, an alchemist of opposites:
tender and unsentimental, metaphysical and blunt, funny and
horrifying, omniscient and yet acutely aware of just how much we
cannot know.Beloved for her novels and memoirs, she returns here to
her earliest form, gathering short stories and a remarkable novella
never before published in the UK. Taken together, the stories in
Wednesday's Child articulate the true cost of living with all Li’s
trademark unnerving beauty and searing wisdom. ‘Quiet, subtle and
often agonisingly wrenching … Li explores the brittle fractures
within the human heart … A shimmering meditation’ FINANCIAL TIMES
‘Strands of melancholy are braided through Li’s tender, thoughtful
stories’ DAILY MAIL ‘Against the backdrop of threat, Li’s
characters meditate coolly on meaning and mortality’ OBSERVER
