The Suicide Club - Stories

Informationen zum Autor TONI GRAHAM, a native of San Francisco, teaches creative writing at Oklahoma State University, where she serves as editor in chief and fiction editor for the Cimarron Review. She is the author of two story collections: Waiting for Elvis, winner of the John Gardner Book Award, and The Daiquiri Girls, winner of the Grace Paley Prize for Short Fiction. Klappentext The people in these eight interlaced stories are "bound together by the worst sort of grief”! the kind that can devour you after someone close takes his or her own life. But if suicide has stolen these characters capacity to laugh! it has honed their sense of absurdity. Zusammenfassung Even in the darkest undertones of what her characters think and say, Toni Graham reveals a piercingly funny cast, short on patience with themselves and the incongruous pieties of daily life in the Heartland. If they weren’t already Hope Springs outsiders, suicide has made sure of it.
