The Red Convertible: Selected and New Stories, 1978-2008 -- Louise Erdrich

<p><strong>"Culled from 30 years as one of America's most distinctive fictional voices . . . 36 affecting and inventive stories that dance around the Faulknerian world she's created. . . . Within these stories there exist Erdrich's poetic sentences and humane sensibility--and always another surprise on the next page." -- <em>Boston Globe</em></strong></p><p><strong>A collection of breathtaking power and originality by one of the most innovative and exciting writers of our day</strong></p><p>In Louise Erdrich's fictional world, the mystical can emerge from the everyday, the comic can turn suddenly tragic, and violence and splendor inhabit a single emotional landscape. The fantastic twists and leaps of her imagination are made all the more meaningful by the deeper truth of human feeling that underlies them. These thirty-six short works selected by the author herself--including five previously unpublished stories--are ordered chronologically as well as by theme and voice, each tale spellbinding in its boldness and beauty. <em>The Red Convertible</em> is a stunning literary achievement, the collected brilliance of a fearless and inventive writer.</p><br/><br><br><b>Author:</b> Louise Erdrich<br><b>Publisher:</b> Harper Perennial<br><b>Published:</b> 01/19/2010<br><b>Pages:</b> 512<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.85lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.90h x 5.30w x 1.30d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780061536083
