Aprašymas
In this wry collection, the Baroness explores our need for a place to call home, and how this need is tied to our identity.In "The Ocean doesn't Want Me Today," home is a physical place. In "The Snows of Jake Manjaro," it's the all-consuming vocation of war journalism. "Yes, This is A Fine Promotion" features a young man who meets himself on a subway train in Chicago, while in "The High Price of the WildTruth," a beach bum slowly transforms into his once-famous television character, a hired vigilante killer.These stories-blunt, funny, and deceptively simple-capture the wonderful ridiculousness of being human. Unforgettable characters, fantastic realities, and crackling dialogue--woven with gentle, satire and optimism--makes for a wild ride with a satisfying splashdown.
