Paperback. Condizione: Good. The stories in William Lychack's dazzling new collection, The Architect of Flowers, explore the dear and inevitable distance between people in loving relationships and find hope in dark situations. With tiny, precise details, Lychack observes the overlooked moments of everyday life--the small failings between parents and children, the long-held secrets in married life. A small-town policeman brings himself to shoot a family's injured dog; an old woman secretly trains a crow to steal for her; a hybridizer's wife discovers the perfect lie to bring her family magically together again. Lychack's characters yearn to re-enchant the world, to turn the ordinary and profane into the sacred and beautiful again, to make beauty serve as an antidote to grief. From ghostwriter to ghost runners to ghosts in a chapel, these stories are extraordinary portraits of life's tender humiliations as well as its sharp, rude jolts.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. The Wasp Eater has an uncanny precision about love and forgiveness . . . It is one of the best narratives I have ever read about those who are unforgiven, and the effect of this refusal on a child. -- Charles Baxter Deeply felt and wholly original, William Lychack's heart-rending debut charts a ten-year-old boy's quest to reunite his estranged parents. After learning of her husband's infidelity, Daniel's mother throws the man and his things out of the house. Stubborn and impulsive, Daniel's father is forbidden to visit, but he returns frequently to his son's window at night, furtively offering money, apologies, advice, and hope. Caught between his mother's pain and his father's guilt, Daniel attempts an extraordinary act in a desperate bid to repair his family. Graceful and magnetic, this impressive first novel insightfully charts the raw emotional undercurrents of a broken family through characters whose human foibles are artfully drawn. This spare, meticulous novel opens out like a poem, its deceptively casual images bearing a universe of weight. -- New York Times Book Review Poignant . . . Lychack finds new ways to describe feelings too achingly familiar to anyone whose parents ever delivered similar news. -- San Diego Union-Tribune The simplicity and clarity of Lychack's writing are effective in their precise portrayal of a child's mind . . . vivid. -- People William Lychack's stories have appeared in The Best American Short Stories, Ploughshares, Triquarterly, and on public radio's This American Life. The Wasp Eater is his first book.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. First Edition. FIRST PRINTING. "The first novel by an author already featured in 'The Best American Short Stories' and Public Radio International's 'This American Life,' "The Wasp Eater" charts the raw emotional undercurrents of a family in crisis. Set in an old New England mill town in 1979, this magnetic novel is the story of a ten-year-old boy's dream of reuniting his estranged parents, a haunting tale of characters caught in the crossfire of their desires and fears." 164 pages. Acclaimed author Bret Lott's DJ blurb exults: "I loved this. From the opening scene.I was entranced by the lyric language, the precise imagery, the tone and texture and glowing care the words and characters were extended by the author. That feeling of love for the people inside this book is, I believe, the most important characteristic of the work: the author has compassion for all of the characters here, whether 'good' or 'bad.'" Minor bump to top of DJ spine, elsewise a fine copy! LF.…
