Description

Lee Upton - The Tao of Humiliation


image



A woman relives the memory of a disturbing day while studying a photo taken by her father. The last satyr on earth foresees his painful future reflected in a swimming pool. An actress, mourning her mother, loses her ability to complete her lines. These are just three of the fascinating characters who confront and confound readers in this collection of 17 stories. Upton, award-winning poet and literary critic, shows her mastery of the short form. She draws her unforgettable characters with decisiveness, using voice, point of view, and a variety of narrators. Many of the stories are very funny. Irony, satire, the gift of the apt phrase, and the occasional slapstick scene will delight readers. The strongest of her considerable talents is the ability to create emotional resonance with lightness of touch through changes of mood and in situations of loss, humiliation, insight, and betrayal. This entertaining collection will appeal to fans of a variety of literary authors, such as Grace Paley, Edith Pearlman, and Louis Nordan
