One Late Afternoon in Lower Alabama: A Collection (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

In this collection of five intense short stories, a writer and his friend travel to Pamplona for the running of the bulls, the friend's attempt to truly live just one more time; Training can take many forms, from a good old-fashioned thumping to much worse treatment (that will leave you smiling); A young couple arrive in a bus terminal. Both are nervous at their impending separation. We assume it's a sad time for both, but is it? Are they running from a problem, or merely solving it in a different way? Along with your companions, you're entering a village to the sounds of fireworks, or maybe bullets. You feel tired, fatigued, decide to rest for a bit, as it turns out, alongside an old woman who reminds you of your mother. In southern Alabama, things move at their own pace and are very seldom what they seem. These character-driven short stories will remind you of Hemingway's works in his later years.
