Книга The Story Until Now - Автор Kit Reed

<P>Called «one of our brightest cultural commentators» by Publishers Weekly, Kit Reed draws from life—with a difference. This new collection brings together thirty-four of her strong, original stories, from early classics like «The Wait» and «Winter» to six never-before-collected short stories, including «The Legend of Troop 13» and «Wherein We Enter the Museum.» An early favorite, «Automatic Tiger,» is the first in a series of Reed's stories about animals. There's a monkey who grinds out bestsellers with the help of a «creative writing» app. Her uncanny black dog can enter a crowded room and sit down at the feet of the next man to die. Her characters confront war in various arenas: mother/daughter battles, the war of the sexes, the struggles of men scarred by war. Kit Reed's self-described «transgenred» fiction is confirmation of an «extraordinary talent» (The Financial Times). The range and complexity of her work speaks for itself in The Story Until Now.</P>
