Stories

Beschreibung

Mit unbeirrbarer Freimütigkeit und Sympathie erforscht Oates in 14 Kurzgeschichten das intime Leben der heutigen amerikanischen Familie: Die verworrenen Bande zwischen den Generationen, die Verzweiflung - und das verdeckte, strahlende Glück -, das darin liegt, mehr zu Liebe zu geben als zu bekommen. Dramatisch, von großer Intensität und immer provokant, verschafft uns "Dear Husband" einen beunruhigenden wie auch faszinierenden Blick in das geheimnisvolle Herz Amerikas.
