Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. Condition: FINE. Inscribes by the author. 1st edition. Synopsis: Dawn Raffel's stories are like prismatic drops of rain, hanging from the edge of a roof or sliding down a windshield, reflecting an entire world within. The language of motherhood, of adulthood, of childhood the language of family and individual has never been like this. Sly and probing, with the sting of precision and pain. Susan Straight In Dawn Raffel's Further Adventures in the Restless Universe the oppressive truth of our mortality unsettles but does not vanquish the spirit. The woman as drudge may be "a failure at folding," but she is a rare songmaker whose dialogues with a son, a sister the usual figures from the family romance make for a musical and philosophical call and response. The son proposes one way to keep birds from crashing into fatally clear windows is to open the windows all over the world. These stories promise more life. Take them to heart! Christine Schutt When Dawn Raffel was a very small child, her father used to read to her nightly from The Restless Universe a layman s guide to physics by the Nobel Laureate Max Born. Although she loved the time spent with her father, she didn t despite his statements to the contrary comprehend a word of the physics. It was her first recognition that love so often comes with imperfect understanding. The 21 stories in Further Adventures in the Restless Universe are about fathers, daughters, mothers, sisters, husbands, wives, strangers, lovers, sons, neighbors, kings, death, faith, astronomical phenomena, and the way the heart warps time. Of her previous work, one reviewer stated, Raffel takes conventions and smashes them to bits and another called it extreme literature. Of Further Adventures, Publisher s Weekly says, Raffel's stripped-to-the-bone prose is a model of economy and grace. Dawn Raffel is the author of a previous collection of short stories, In the Year of Long Division, and a novel, Carrying the Body. Her work has appeared in O, The Oprah Magazine, Conjunctions, NOON, Open City, The Mississippi Review, The Quarterly, Unsaid, and numerous other periodicals and anthologies. She has taught creative writing in the MFA program at Columbia University and is a magazine editor in New York City. Readers have come to expect from Dawn Raffel s prose nothing less than the syllable-by-syllable perfections of purest poetry and the boldest wisdom a human heart can hold. Her new collection of pithy, exquisite fictions about the timeless crises of mothers, daughters, and wives is breathtaking and haunting in its majestic exactitudes. Gary Lutz Less has never been more than in Dawn Raffel's Further Adventures in the Restless Universe. These spare, high-intensity stories of brave people at the end of their ropes are not only models of writerly integrity, but monuments of the spirit asserting itself out of the depths of silence. David Gates About the Author: Dawn Raffel is the author of Carrying the Body (a novel) and In the Year of Long Division (short stories).
