Summary
A novella and four short stories features outcast and eccentric women, in a collection that includes the title story, in which a girl with no discernable past discovers the power of silence, and 'Hale and Hallowed,' in which a woman pays a surprise visit to the woman with whom she shared a hospital room when their sons were born. Original.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
The Old Child & Other Stories introduces in English one of Germanyâs most original and brilliant young authors, Jenny Erpenbeck.
Written in spare, highly concentrated language, "a sustained feat of verbal economy" (Die Zeit), the one novella and four stories in The Old Child go beyond the limits of the expected, the real. Dark, serious, often mystical, these marvelous fictions about womenâs lives provide glimpses into the minds of outcasts and eccentrics, at the same time bearing out Dostoevskyâs comment that hope can be found so long as a man can see even a tiny view of the sky.Editions
