Beschreibung:
Pam Durban is the author of "The Laughing Place," which won the 1994 Townsend Prize for Fiction. In addition, Durban is the recipient of the 1988 Whiting Writer's Award and the 1984 Rinehart Award in Fiction. Her stories, which have appeared in such publications as "Tri-Quarterly," "Crazyhorse," and "The Georgia Review," have been widely anthologized. She teaches at Georgia State University.
The seven stories in Pam Durban's widely praised debut collection are tales of family, of love and loss, of survival and affirmation. Durban's resonant prose subtly obliges her readers to experience the rush of icy water in a stream, the taste of greens freshly snatched from an overgrown garden, the dread weight of confusion and uncertainty. A country singer more than a few big breaks short of stardom, a mill worker coping with the death of her teenage son, a preadolescent boy lovestruck over his private swimming instructor, a father cut off from his children by haunting war memories: these and other characters are made real and consequential by Durban's touch.
