Beschreibung

"The book is informed by the Vietnamese immigrations of the nineteen-seventies but is filled with social observation of contemporary middle-class culture and indie sensibility . . . Quietly beautiful, Strom's stories are hip without being ironic." —The New Yorker


When The Gentle Order of Girls and Boys was first published in 2006, it was groundbreaking in its depiction of contemporary young Vietnamese women living in the United States, centering their ordinary lives as mothers, lovers, friends, and daughters against the backdrop of immigration and assimilation. Available now for the first
time in paperback and featuring an introduction by Isabelle Thuy Pelaud and a new preface by the author, The Gentle Order of Girls and Boys is a beautifully written, psychologically astute foray into the rite of female passage.

    Dr. Marden tells how we can live up to our potential just by changing our attitude, from the normal attitude of I CAN'T to one of I CAN! To do this we need to have faith in ourselves and shut out the negative forces that come into our lives. We have to stop the negative thoughts and not listen to the nay sayers. Once we find what we want to do we can't think it to death, just take the chance and don't procrastinate, don't let doubt interfer. It's difficult to do in the beginning but will soon become a habit and will make our lives so much easier and fulfilling.

    Herbert Jenkins' most popular fictional creation was Mr. Joseph Bindle, who first appeared in a humorous novel in 1916 and in a number of sequels. In the preface to the books, T. P. O'Connor said that "Bindle is the greatest Cockney that has come into being through the medium of literature since Dickens wrote Pickwick Papers". The stories are based on the comedic drama of life at work, at home and all the adventures that take place along the way. It becomes clear as the stories progress that Bindle would not be who he is without Mrs. Bindle, and this book seeks to tell the stories of the Bindles from the distaff point of view.  (Summary by Wikipedia and Don W. Jenkins)

    This case contains more than mementos. 
    Clara’s mom has always had a peculiar admiration for other people’s possessions.  
    At first, it was only small, insignificant things: a shirt, a hair clip, and the like. But over the years Mamma’s tastes have grown. 
    When Clara discovers an odd suitcase in the back of her mother’s closet and its connection to the objects her mamma adores, she has to ask herself just how far Mamma’s love will go. And whether it can be stopped. 
    A Case of Mamma's Love had the honor of taking 3rd prize in the 2019 Keats Soul Making Literary Competition sponsored by the League of American PEN Women. In 2020, the story was selected for the anthology XVIII by Underland Press.
