Black Freckles: Stories,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
With the publication in 1971 of his first book of poems, Wrecking Crew, Larry Levis at age twentyfive immediately established himself as a literary talent to watch. Since then, four more books and a host of prestigious awardsincluding the Lamont prize in 1976 for The Afterlife and a National Poetry Series selection in 1981 for The Dollmaker's Ghosthave solidified his reputation as one of our finest contemporary poets. In Black Freckles, his first collection of fiction, Levis switches genres with his dazzling stylistic powers intact.In these eight vivid and unforgettable stories, Levis explores the nature of beauty and loss, and how sometimes they are inextricably connected. Combining a dreamlike sense of time with images startling for their visceral immediacy, Levis's prose astonishes with its imaginative force and linguistic brilliance.In the title story, set in Belgrade, a young man's disturbing ruminations on the world around him depict the injuries a politically repressive society can inflict on the processes of love and memory. 'A Divinity in its Fraying Fact' examines the events surrounding the drowning of a young priest, recalled by the boy whose mother discovered the corpse in the family's swimming pool. In 'An Illustration of the Castle' Levis reaches across history to present a timeless monologue from a deposed emperor whose conquests ultimately leave him with a sense of loss and futility.Black Freckles pushes the accepted boundaries of the possible in narrative fiction. Each of these stories possesses the same nostalgiatinged intelligence and lyric energy that has made Larry Levis one of the most widely read and respected poets of our time.
