Beskrivning
In Cities in the Sea, Maura Stanton taps into the mysterious force of the fairy tale, with its fantastic images and magical narrative patterns. Her stories blur the boundaries between fairy tale and verité, and comment on the art of storytelling. A range of characters—from a business man to a pianist, from a county coroner to a hardware store clerk, from a Greek immigrant to a Danish artist—come to discover that the past is a ruined kingdom, lost forever, but still a place to visit in wish, dream, and memory. Throughout her stories, Stanton attempts to wrest a deeper pattern, full of humor and wonder, out of the disturbing events of contemporary life.

Recensioner i media

". . . triumphantly scales the walls between reality, fantasy and imagination. This may be the best book I've read in years. Stanton links the eight short stories using the psychological drama that we humans play out in our minds as we examine our past, comparing it to our present."
