Opis

A masterful collection of short stories exposing the seamy undercurrents of pre-war, small-town American life from Charles Jackson, celebrated author of "The Lost Weekend"
Bringing together a selection of Jackson's finest tales, "The Sunnier Side And Other Stories" explores the trials of adolescence in small town America during the tumultuous years of the early twentieth century. Set in the fictional village of Arcadia in upstate New York, the stories in this collection address the unspoken issues--homosexuality, failed marriage, suicide, and sexuality--lurking just beneath the surface of the suburban ideal.
Featuring a new introduction by award-winning biographer Blake Bailey, "The Sunnier Side "showcases an author at the height of his storytelling powers, reaffirming Jackson's reputation as a boundary-pushing, irreverently piercing writer years ahead of his time.
