Money Breton tells her story in diary form, and it's a harrowing one: basically, her life is falling apart. But in the face of faithless husbands, desperately troubled children, a precarious job, and a fear that even her brain is out of control, Money perseveres by means of her wits and the wicked humor with which she observes her life. A New York ...
In this, her first novel, Mary Robison takes her hard-edged and immaculate voice to another level. This is a novel about a madcap Midwestern family living under eccentric protection of a singular father--a band of clever survivors who ultimately find a way of staying happy in a world gone crazy.
With her trademark biting humor and breathtaking facility with language, Mary Robison, author of "Why Did I Ever," sets the stage for a beguiling Southern Gothic that's sure to delight both her fanatical following and new readers alike.
Chosen from Robison's three long-unavailable collections, along with four new stories, "Tell Me" reflects the early brilliance as well as the fulfilled promise of Mary Robison's literary career.
The eleven stories appearing here depict Robison's sly, scatty world of plotters, absconders, ponderers, and pontificators. Her characters are sharp, cool, astringently ironic, and her language vibrates with edginess and nerve.
