Kritik
"I love this book. The characters in Little Sinners are sexy and knowing, and often behave badly, which makes them such fun to read about. They all possess bold, wayward hearts, and appetites that lead them to bliss or self-destruction, sometimes both." Christine Sneed, author of Portraits of a Few of the People I've Made Cry, Grace Paley Prize winner "Karen Brown's stories are smart and psychologically acute, far from naive, yet filled with the glamour of falling in love, even drowning in it. Readers will find much to admire - and to love - in Little Sinners, and Other Stories." Laura Furman, author of The Mother Who Stayed and series editor of The PEN/O. Henry Prize Stories "Brown delivers engaging gems with well-drawn heroines, mostly teenage girls or unhappy wives, whose fates are twisted by the interplay of love and death. Stuck in stifling suburban settings, they struggle to overcome the trauma of loss, either from dead parents, siblings, and children - as in "Passing," "Mistresses," "Housewifery," and "An Heiress Walks into a Bar" - or from the failure of erotic relationships, as in "Homing," "The Fountain," and "Swimming." Brown has a talent for evocative detail, but her ability to explore the perversities of memory and desire in haunting prose is her greatest strength." Publishers Weeklymehr
