Reviews
Jackson knows his antecedents. He has metabolized Ben Lerner and David Foster Wallace. He can throw in a blank verse, like Melville, to heighten a scene.-Lorin Stein, The Paris Review "There are ethics at stake [in Prodigals ] and, more important, crackling and careening Fitzgerald-worthy sentences that gather into Cheeveresque specimens of narrative architecture." ?Boris Kachka, New York Magazine

Synopsis
During a violent storm, a filmmaker escapes New York, accompanied by a woman who may be his therapist. A lawyer in the throes of divorce seeks refuge at her seaside cottage only to find a vagrant girl living in it. A dilettantish banker sees his ambitions laid bare when he comes under the influence of two strange sisters. A group of friends gathers in the California desert for one last bacchanal, and a journalist finds his visit to the French country home of a former tennis star take a deeply unnerving turn. Strivers, misfits, and children of privilege, the restless, sympathetic characters in Jackson's stellar short story collection, Prodigals, hew to passion and perversity through life's tempests. Theirs is a quest for meaning and authenticity in lives spoiled by self-knowledge and haunted by spiritual longing. Lyrical and unflinching, cerebral and surreal, this collection maps the degradations of contemporary life with insight and grace.

- s***n (410)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseJust as described, book was like new. Item shipped in a box, great!, however, the box was much bigger than the book with nothing to hold the book inside so it got banged around inside the box during shipping. Used boxes that fit better or packaging material.Isaiah: A Commentary (The Old Testament Library) by Childs, Brevard S. (#196704147577)

Quick shipping and VERY well packed. Thanks!
