About This Item
Minneapolis. 1998. Milkweed Editions. 1st Edition. Very Good in Hardcover. No Dustjacket As Issued. 1571310185. 205 pages. hardcover. keywords: Literature America . FROM THE PUBLISHER - Kalfus is most successful when he mixes his different approaches into the original sort of magic realism he creates in the title tale, which concerns an erotically charged encounter between a virginal Irish au pair, Nula, and a Moroccan student, Henri Tatahouine, in Paris. The hallucinatory quality of Henri's account of his life leaves Nula emotionally blistered, as though she had been in the Sahara. The comic, horrifying 'Cats in Space,' which tells the tale of a group of kids who use helium balloons to launch a kitten into the air, is similarly effective. Though uneven, Kalfus's collection is ambitious and daring, with smart, fluid prose and an abundance of surprises. inventory #25610 ISBN: 1571310185.
