The Tiger's Eye: New & Selected Stories

Gladys Swan

4.9/5 (9596 ratings)

Description:With her tenth book, The Tiger’s Eye, writer, poet, visual artist Gladys Swan displays her mastery of the short-story form and confirms her place as one of the supreme storytellers of her generation. Swan’s range is deep and profoundly spacious. Her stories are peopled with characters who seem intensely alive. Here are the good, the bad, the beautiful, the ugly, the winners, the losers, the down and out, the pariahs, the insiders, the middle-aged, the very young, the very old. The multiple points of view throughout Swan’s collection are as variable as the craft of writing allows.Every main character in Swan’s collection is hiding behind a façade, reaching out, but never truly connecting with anyone else in his or her life. Over the many years that the Swan oeuvre has accumulated, this hidden and unshared separation anxiety has shown itself to be her signature preoccupation. The ultimate point being that, in one way or another, we all live as if we’re the Other. We connect physically, but that’s as deep as it goes. The blood/brain barrier is never crossed except in our illusions—those illusions that allow us to ride the surface of life and avoid seeing into the precarious, soul-shredding depths of unbearable reality.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
