Sinopsis

An underachieving young man who accidentally discovers he’s the world’s most talented athlete.
 
A humble school photographer who sees her life transformed into a fairy tale.
 
A rabbinical student whose regimented existence is turned on its head after beginning an affair with a woman outside his religion.
 
A novelist who abandons motherhood because of the burden it imposes on her writing.
 
A mountain climber whose fame is matched only by his reclusiveness.
 
A waitress whose self-esteem rises or falls each time a certain stranger visits her restaurant.
 
A woman who leaves her comfortable home and successful business to work in a faraway slum in the belief that, only there, can she repair her broken life.
 
An abhorrently behaved physicist who, in all likelihood, has proven the existence of God.
 
These are only some of the unforgettable eccentrics, loners and misfits who populate the pages of Jupiter The Stupider.
 
Mixing folklore, satire and stark realism, Brian Prousky has created a wide-ranging and uncommonly enchanting collection of stories.

    Backwater (Pilgrimage Vol 2)

    Backwater is the second volume of "Pilgrimage," a series of thirteen autobiographical novels by Dorothy Richardson considered to have pioneered the "stream of consciousness" technique of writing. In a review of the first volume in the series, "Pointed Roofs" (The Egoist April 1918), May Sinclair first applied the term "stream of consciousness" in her discussion of Richardson's stylistic innovations. Richardson, however, preferred the term "interior monologue." Miriam Henderson, the central character in Pilgrimage, is based on the author's own life between 1891 and 1915. Richardson is also important as a feminist writer because of the way her work assumes the validity and importance of female experiences as a subject for literature. Her wariness of the conventions of language, her bending of the normal rules of punctuation, sentence length, and so on, are used to create a feminine prose, which Richardson saw as necessary for the expression of female experience. Virginia Woolf in 1923 noted that Richardson "has invented, or, if she has not invented, developed and applied to her own uses, a sentence which we might call the psychological sentence of the feminine gender." In "Backwater," the quietly iconoclastic Miriam Richardson undertakes teaching responsibilities at a girls' school in North London; finding it to be impossible to conform to socially-acceptable interpretations of life, she anguishes over such issues as marriage, religion, the nature of happiness, and family relationships, while she begins to widen her horizons in the world.

    Diane Williams, "godmother of flash fiction" (The Paris Review), returns with thirty-three short, brilliant stories. 
     
     
     
    In Williams's stories, life is newly alive and dangerous; whether she is writing about an affair, a request for money, an afternoon in a garden, or the simple act of carrying a cake from one room to the next, she offers us beautiful and unsettling new ways of seeing everyday life. In perfectly honed sentences, with a sly and occasionally wild wit, Williams shows us how any moment of any day can open onto disappointment, pleasure, and possibility.
