Descrizione libro Trade paperback. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: No dust jacket issued. Kathy Hamilton (Cover art) (illustratore). Format is 5.5 inches by 8.5 inches. [8], 150, [2] pages. Decorative front cover. Inscribed by the author on the title page. Inscription reads To Pauline, with great admiration and affection. Pat Carr. Pat Carr has a B.A. and M.A. from Rice, a Ph.D. from Tulane, and sixteen published books, including the Iowa Fiction Prize winner, The Women in the Mirror, and the PEN Book Award finalist, If We Must Die. She's published over a hundred short stories in such places as The Southern Review, Yale Review, and Best American Short Stories. Her latest short story collection, The Death of a Confederate Colonel, a nominee for the Faulkner Award, won the PEN Southwest Fiction Award, the John Estes Cooke Civil War Fiction Award, and was voted one of the top ten books from university presses for 2007 by Foreword Magazine. She's won numerous other awards, including a Library of Congress Marc IV, an NEH, the Texas Institute of Letters Short Story Award, an Al Smith Literary Fellowship, and a Fondation Ledig-Rowohlt Writing Fellowship in Lausanne, Switzerland. She's taught creative writing and literature in numerous universities across the South, and in August, 2011, taught the Civil War novel at New York's Chautauqua Institute. Her writing text, Writing Fiction with Pat Carr appeared from High Hill Press in 2010, and her memoir, One Page at a Time: On a Writing Life, also published in 2010 by Texas Tech University Press, was a finalist for both the Willa Cather Award and the PEN Southwest Non-fiction Award. She lives and writes on a thirty-six acre farm in Arkansas with her writer husband, Duane Carr. Set beneath the limitless desert sky of West Texas, this collection of short stories is peopled with passionate misfits, intense suicides, existential survivors who must somehow cope with the darkness. But it is a darkness occasionally illuminated by the faint candle glow of luminaries or by flashes of insight, and in Pat Carr's clean, sparse, poetic prose, the characters ultimately achieve both dignity and a glimmer of hope. --- from book's back cover. Among the stories are: An El Paso Idyll, Turquoise Canyon Sunset, The Anatomy of a Victim, The Skunk, Penelope at the Loom, La Llorona, Reflections, One Summer Sunday Morning, Autumn in Paradise, Hitchhikers May be Escaping Inmates, Afternoon of Scorpions, Josefina and Lady Eunice, Conversation the the Writer's Wife, and The Listener.
