Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 David Wallace’s story is one of midwestern normality. His parents were professors at a public university in Illinois, and he and his sister grew up in a house full of books and learning. His mother was the center of the universe. #2 Wallace’s mother, Sally, was a huge influence on him. She was smart and funny, and she included him in her love of words. She was also extremely strict about grammar, but that just added to the excitement of having a gifted mother. #3 Wallace’s childhood was happy and ordinary. He was a skinny, gap-toothed kid with flaccid hair cut in bangs. He liked the Chicago Bears, loved their star linebacker Dick Butkus, and wanted to be a football player or a brain surgeon to help his mother’s nerves. #4 Wallace’s approach to dealing with injustice was to appeal to his parents. He was a smart kid, but many adults found him a handful. He was constantly asking Why.
The Contemporary American Short-Story Cycle
James Nagel offers the first systematic history and definition of the short-story cycle as exemplified in contemporary American fiction, bringing attention to the format's wide appeal among various ethnic groups. He examines in detail eight recent manifestations of the genre, all praised by critics while uniformly misidentified as novels. Nagel proposes that the short-story cycle, with its concentric as opposed to linear plot development possibilities, lends itself particularly well to exploring themes of ethnic assimilation, which mirror some of the major issues facing American society today.

Picking up her pace, Frances saw a woman in the leaf-hung depths of the garden. She wore a long pink dress and a wide hat, and her skin was a creamy white. There came upon Frances a sensation that sometimes overtook her when she was looking at a painting: space was foreshortened, time stood still. When Frances met Charlie at a party in Melbourne he was married with a young son. Now she and Charlie live in Sydney with her rescue dog Rod and an unshakeable sense that they have tipped the world on its axis. They are still getting their bearings - of each other and of their adopted city. Everything is alien, unfamiliar, exotic: haunting, even. Worlds of meaning spin out of perfectly chosen words in this rare, beguiling and brilliant ghost story by Miles Franklin Literary Award-winning writer Michelle de Kretser.
