The Effects of Knut Hamsun on a Fresno Boy; Recollections and Short Essays Paperback - 2000

by Soto, Gray

  • New
  • Paperback

Clear and precisely rendered, these essays are either thematically domestic scenes or pedestrian in their observations of the ordinary. This volume includes 48 pieces: all the personal narratives formerly collected in "Small Faces", the best of "Lesser Evils"--both volumes long out of print--as well as five new essays.

Description

New York: Persea Books, 2000. Second printing. Paperback. NEW. 205pp. Octavo [21cm] Paperback. NEW. From the back cover: "Only the most assured essayist dares to explore the everyday world we all inhabit yet so rarely truly see, to render seemingly mundane moments into prose that is sweetly sharp and full of wonder. Gary Soto is one such writer. In narratives that are tender or outrageous, delirious with joy or touched by heartbreak, he falls in love, picks up hitchhikers, uses his wits to solve the hunger of stray dogs, and sicovers the writing life.
