Beschreibung zu „Blood: Collected Stories“
Blood Collected Stories
Winner of the 2016 Indie Book Awards (Short Stories)
Noelle Q. de Jesus’ collection of short stories is a striking debut of cultural exchanges and foreign tongues: stories that trace and sustain the conflict between man and woman, parent and child, country and identity, self and sexuality, love and loss.
"... De Jesus' characters inhabit a world of regret, loss and unfulfilled longing. In these works, there is as much said in the silences and ellipses, as there are in the fraught, perfunctory exchanges. ... De Jesus' economy of words and her voice, bleak and spare, yet intimate, recalls the virtuosity of short story fiction masters, such as Lorrie Moore and Edith Pearlman."
-The Straits Times
“At the start of each compact narrative in this collection, Noelle Q. de Jesus places a cunning tiger of thrilling tension ready to spring. Thematically cogent, these stories are about the lives of the displaced"
-Michael Carroll, Author of Little Reef and Other Stories, Lambda Literary Award Winner 2015
“Carefully crafted and richly observed, these stories are filled with unforgettable women"
-F.H. Batacan, Author of Smaller and Smaller Circles
