Аннотация:

The sophomore book by Josephine Rowe (her first, the novel A Loving Faithful Animal , a New York Times Editors’ Choice, is still on Staff Picks shelves at indie bookstores from coast to coast), Catapult is thrilled to welcome this remarkably talented writer back to our list. We remain committed to building her profile in North America The first story, «Glisk,» winner of the Elizabeth Jolley Short Story Prize, will knock your socks off and steal your breath away. It is also emblematic of the entire collection, holding a brilliant, wrenching tension between the mundane and the profound, brimming with slyly observed details and heartbreaking revelations Rowe is a master of style and imagery and language; her playful, powerful sentences, beautifully controlled yet emotionally rendered, will linger with you long after you finish the final story We are experiencing a wonderful renaissance of short stories in the marketplace, with readers flocking to Friday Black , Sour Heart , and Florida ; we are confident of expanding Josephine's readership A Stegner Fellow, Rowe spends time in the United States and Canada each year, with robust and supportive communities in the Bay Area, New York City and upstate New York, Toronto, and Montreal As with A Loving, Faithful Animal , Here Until August will be published as a beautiful trade paperback original with French flaps
