Riassunto

The lively, sometimes stifling, and violent world of 1970s New York is seen through the eyes of an observant and resilient thirteen-year-old girl dealing with older and younger siblings, an alcoholic maternal grandmother, absent father, poverty-stricken mother, and the Middle Eastern hot-dog vendor who trades food in exchange for being allowed to fondle her. Reprint.

Su questo libro

Product Description:

Originally published by McSweeney's Books, Here They Come is the startling and poignant third novel by Yannick Murphy, a National Endowment for the Arts award winner and one of the freshest writers in American fiction today. Splitting time between a ramshackle apartment and the company of a lonely hot-dog vendor, the observant thirteen-year-old who stands steadily at the center of Here They Come gives lyrical voice to 1970s New York; stifling, violent, and full of life. Balanced between her enigmatic siblings, detached parents, and a quiet sense of the surreal, she recounts a year of startling moments with dark humor and deadpan resilience.
