Aprašymas
In A Collector's Item, nonagenarian Mollee Kruger unleashes once more the award-winning humor and wisdom that have appealed to readers throughout her long life. With unflagging skill, the internationally recognized writer unpacks a steamer trunk filled with Americana. Contents include a novella, short stories, essays, and even localized minutes recording the birth of the U.S. Constitution. Her wry essays provide hilarious advice to would-be writers. Among her "anecdotal what-nots," she pokes gentle fun at what she calls the "pixies of the sixties" and the mindset of some folks in the Over Thirty crowd.
Kruger's title novella, A Collector's Item, is more than a Covid tale of a fading Silent Generation. She explores the resilience of two elderly friends and their struggle for mutual acceptance while facing the restraints of career women during the late twentieth century. Her pithy short stories help us identify generational clashes in our own lives, the duties of family, and the challenges of our friendships. Following on the heels of Port of Call: Memories of an Ancient Mariner, Mollee Kruger continues to remind us that the gift of being alive is in itself the rarest of all our keepsakes.
