Southpaw Zusammenfassung

Southpaw: Short Stories Lisa St. Aubin de Teran

Venezuela and Italy, villages and prisons, forests and whore houses are the backdrops to these short stories which reflect the people and the places that have informed this wonderful writer's work. Antonio Mezzano in Umbria, the blind man who gathers village gossip in his one good hand; La Rusa who runs her Rainbow brothel in the Andes; Eladio 'the mad man' who searches with his mute son for the eagle they stubbornly believe will restore them to health; Otto, the political prisoner called Proff who shares his cell with a killer; tiny Silvio the poet on Buona Vita Street; Nanzia, the family cook whose heart was chopped like parsley on marble when love came her way. In many senses, these are the dispossessed, the southpaws - prostitutes, peasants, shopkeepers, mothers among them.

Southpaw Bewertungen

'The collection contains some of St Aubin de Teran's most satisfying work to date ... An absorbing storyteller, St Aubin finds other people's life stories even more enchanted than her own' INDEPENDENT 'Her vivid, telling sketches of characters in a remote Umbrian village linger in the memory' SUNDAY TIMES 'A jubilant sense of place pervades the stories, together with the smell of woodsmoke, acacia blossom and the day's baking' SUNDAY TRIBUNE 'Lisa St Aubin de Teran never seems to run out of material from her extraordinarily exotic life... as with all de Teran's books the language she uses is beautiful and evocative.' DAILY MAIL 'This collection is funny, inspiring and sad. The way in which St Aubin de Teran focuses on the weaknesses of her characters with such barely disguised glee, and yet describes them with such tenderness and charm, is little short of masterly.' BIRMINGHAM POST 'magic realism with the emphasis on realism from an exoticist who can describe and imagine.' GLASGOW HERALD
