| Abstract | "A young woman takes stock after the burglary of her apartment. A teenager becomes obsessed with the obituaries in a weekly magazine. Grandchildren mourn the grandparents who loved them and the grandparents who didn't. Painters and almost-painters try to distinguish Good Art from Bad Art. People grapple with life-altering illness, unrequited love, and promises they have every intention of keeping. Some win the lottery. Others don't. In these sinewy, thoughtful stories, celebrated New Yorker contributor Camille Bordas delves into the mysteries of life, death, and all that happens in between. At once darkly funny and poignantly self-aware, Bordas's writing offers a window into our shared, flawed humanity without insisting on a perfect understanding of our experiences. With her first collection, which gathers previously unpublished stories alongside work originally featured in The New Yorker and The Paris Review, Bordas cements her reputation as a master of the form"-- Provided by publisher. |
| Abstract | This collection of short stories explores a range of everyday and existential experiences, following characters who confront loss, illness, artistic ambition, family relationships, and moments of personal reckoning. The stories depict individuals responding to events such as a home burglary, the death of relatives, creative frustration, and unfulfilled desires. Blending humor and introspection, the collection examines themes of identity, connection, and the uncertainties that shape ordinary life. It includes both previously unpublished work and pieces that first appeared in The New Yorker and The Paris Review, highlighting Bordas's approach to contemporary short fiction. |
