Klappentext Xhenet Aliu’s fiction has appeared in such journals as Glimmer Train! Hobart! and the Barcelona Review. "There is a lot of the body in these stories: stink and rot and perfume and dead skin. Often out of control and goofy, "Domesticated Wild Things" is also extremely funny and mordant. The wild energy of Aliu's diction mocks and illuminates the English language."--Sherman Alexie, author of "Blasphemy: New and Selected Stories"--Sherman Alexie (03/05/2013) Zusammenfassung Just down the highway from Connecticut's Gold Coast is the state's rusty underbelly, the wretched, used-up sort of place where you might find Xhenet Aliu's Domesticated Wild Things: the reluctant mothers, delinquent dads, and not-quite-feral children, yet dreamers all.
