The Star Café and Other Stories - Softcover
“Mary Caponegro’s short fiction is lyrical, comic, and above all, erotic....To read this book is to succumb to it―with the greatest pleasure.” ―John Hawkes
In these exquisite stores, Mary Caponegro is challenging the way we think about language, about sexuality, and even about thinking. She is one of a group of writers who have exploded the boundaries of the short story. Mary Caponegro is the winner of the General Electric Younger Writers Award and the 1991 Rome Prize for Literature."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
From Publishers Weekly:
"Sebastian," a quirky novella, outshines the three stories in this collection--a Chinese fable "ultimately jejune and Western in its effects"; the tale of a college coed's seduction; and a coming-of-age melodrama. "In the stories . . . the author's ambition overmatches her craft," said PW. "However . . . 'Sebastian' is a sharply focused psychological portrait of a self-possessed Englishman."
