Bad Characters by Jean Stafford
Requirements: .ePUB Reader | 296Kb | Version: Retail
Overview: This book displays at their height the wit, sensibility and psychological penetration that distinguish Miss Stafford’s work. There are nine stories and a novella. They range in mood from the title story, a comic portrait of a resourceful child-criminal named Lottie Jump, to "The End of a Career," an elegiac and ironic tale of the declining years of a great beauty. In "A Reasonable Facsimile" Dr. Bohrmann, a retired professor philosophy, is unexpectedly rescued from an aggressively boring young house guest. "Cops and Robbers" is a chilling story of childhood horror and lovelessness that revolves around a father’s trip to the barber with his five-year-old daughter.
Several of the stories have as their common setting Miss Stafford’s fiction town of Adams, Colorado.
