Paperback. Condizione: New. Second edition with new material. Short stories of subtle menace and Lydia Davis-esque humor.On the eve of an important battle, a colonel is visited in his tent by an indigenous woman with a message to pass on. A man sets about renovating the house of his childhood, and starts to feel that he might be rebuilding his own life in the process. At a private clinic to treat the morbidly obese, a caregiver has issues of her own.These are stories of immigration, marginality, history, intimacy and obsession.
