The National Book Award winner explores the hidden dynamics of relationships with âlean, intriguing, formally inventive proseâ in this collection (Kirkus Reviews). A New York Times Editorâs Choice In Heathcliff Redux, the novella that begins this collection, a married woman reads Wuthering Heightsâjust as she falls under the erotic and destructive spell of her own Heathcliff. In the stories that follow, a single photograph illuminates the intricate web of connections between friends at an Italian café; a forgotten act of violence in New Yorkâs Carl Schurz Park returns to haunt the present; and a woman is prompted by a flurry of mysterious emails to recall her time as a member of the infamous Rajneesh cult. With keen psychological insight and delicate restraint, Lily Tuck pries open the desires, doubts, and secret motives of her characters and exposes their vulnerabilities to the light. Sharp and unflinching, the novella and stories together form an exquisitely crafted collection. |
