Sinopse

A welfare cheque floats down the river, a cowboy spreads the Word of the Lord and crotches tick like clocks: the world of Spare Parts is unpredictable, evocative and vividly distorted. Its initial appearance, in 1981, caused a stir; at a time when linear narrative was the m.o. of feminist writing, Gail Scott had the nerve to fracture and dislocate her stories and her language.
   
Spare Parts is as vital as it was twenty years ago. Scott's densely textured tales about the world of growing up female in a small town, where violence lurks just beneath the skin, recreate the uncertainty of life. Their incantatory language and tough imagery are as relevant and crucial now as they were then.
   
This edition adds two new pieces, including 'Bottoms Up', an essay on narrative which first appeared on the 'Narrativity' website Scott co-edits.
Disponível desde: 16/06/2002.
Comprimento de impressão: 96 páginas.

    In James Joyce's poignant story, the narrative unfolds against a New Year's Eve gathering in Dublin, painting a vivid and enchanting scene that ultimately leads the protagonist's wife to disclose a startling revelation to her husband. This culminates in an emotionally charged epiphany that is widely regarded as one of the most powerful in modern literature.

    Audiobook performed by George Newbern, Karen White, Michael Crouch, Jenna Lamia, Sophie Amoss, and Allyson Ryan 
    A debut short story collection in the tradition of writers like Kelly Link, Aimee Bender, and George Saunders—complex, imaginative, and refreshingly original—now on audio as part of Ecco’s “Art of the Story” Series, and with a new introduction from the author. 
    Kevin Wilson’s characters inhabit a world that moves seamlessly between the real and the imagined, yet they are grounded in the emotional truths of the characters’ experiences. “Grand Stand-In” is narrated by an employee of the Nuclear Family Supplemental Provider—a company that supplies “stand-ins” for families with deceased, ill, or just plain mean grandparents. And in “Blowing Up On the Spot,” a story singled out by Ann Patchett for Ploughshares, a young woman works sorting tiles at a Scrabble factory after her parents have spontaneously combusted.  
    Southern gothic at its best, laced with humor and pathos, these wonderfully empathetic stories explore the relationship between loss and death and the many ways we try to cope with both.

    Life in Singapore is good, sometimes even — dare we say it? — absurd. In Singapore Siu Dai, Felix Cheong, with a little help from illustrator PMan, finds humour in the everyday. From our kiasu behaviour to weird geographical boundaries called GRCs and OB markers, no quirk is left unturned. 
     
    These 50 short stories, praised by Singapore’s top humorists for their brew of wit and snappy storytelling, will raise the so-called SG Conversation to a new, satirical pitch. So laugh along as we look forward to Singapore’s 50th birthday! 
     
    “Read Felix’s twisted but funny stories about life, love, school, men, women, stupidity and some more subjects as well. These stories are fresh material. Instead of thinking that life is great and spend time yanking a nose hair, you should sit back, relax and enjoy Singapore Siu Dai.” 
    - Moe Alkaff, comedian
