american bastard (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Matt Starr | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

A medium who talks to dead pets. A retail cashier stuck in a town that relives its tragedy every day. A backslidden young man tasked with finding his dearly departed meemaw's cat amidst the wreckage of her hoarder house. A red-blooded, beer-drinking, Jimmy-driving winning machine. And a well-meaning mama, haunted by her dead brothers, who will stop at nothing to resurrect precious holiday memories for her broken son. Losers - loveable and decidedly not-so-loveable alike - abound in american bastard. These stories, simultaneously strange and familiar, reckon with how home is more than a place. With making good, even when it's against your nature. With finding meaning in the face of loss - in a world that's weirder and weirder all the time. Matt Starr deploys his distinctly Southern drawl to bring y'all twelve original tales of smalltown American zeroes. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
