The long-overdue UK launch of Christine Schutt, an American master of the short story, with brand-new gems.
With Pure Hollywood, Pulitzer Prize-finalist Christine Schutt returns to the short story form that launched her acclaimed career. In tales of rare wit, Pure Hollywood brings us into private worlds of longing and danger. An alcoholic actress takes her children to live in ''a rusted box on stilts'' in the desert. In an exclusive island resort, a young family''s holiday has terrible consequences. A newly-wed couple who, while still ''newly everything'', fall in with a misanthropic painter burned by love. ''On the beach, they agreed, their daydreaming was sometimes dangerous.'' Schutt''s sharply suspenseful and masterfully dark interior portraits of ordinary lives are shot through with surprise and, as Ottessa Moshfegh has it, ''exquisitely weird writing''.
Get Pure Hollywood by Christine Schutt at the best price and quality guaranteed only at Werezi Africa's largest book ecommerce store. The book was published by And Other Stories and it has 120 pages.
