By the author of Little Big, this story collection (A Chicago Tribune Notable Book) ranges from 20th century Shakespeare festival to spring break at a future Yale in his Edgar Award-winning "Spring Break."
Reading John Crowley's stories is to see almost-familiar lives running parallel to our own, secret histories that never quite happened, memories that might be real or might be invented. In the thirteen stories collected here, Crowley sets his imagination free to roam from a 20th century Shakespeare festival to spring break at a future Yale in his Edgar Award winning story "Spring Break". And in the magnificent "Anosognosia" the world brought about by one John C.'s high-school accident may or may not exist.
