Bøger af Zachary Amendt

STAY IS A REMARKABLE DEBUT by one of America's best emerging young authors. These nine powerful stories portray conflicts of race and class in San Francisco's East Bay in language that is profound and heartbreaking. A widower in the midst of a custody battle takes his daughter on a tour of America's ballparks. The parents and friends of a slain Black teenager struggle to manage and express their grief under a harsh national spotlight. And in the title story, a childless couple in the path of a devastating firestorm is forced to decide what baseball memorabilia they value the most - and whether to flee or make a stand. Zachary Amendt's engaging style and mature narrative instinct make him one of our most essential storytellers.

"The brilliant colors and dynamics that Zachary Amendt brought to his debut story collection, Stay, burst forth here in Open Concept with the same engaging exuberance distilled into exquisitely written, tightly arranged workouts that expertly capture the nervous character of the Millennial generation. The Amendt technique -- formula is too rigid a word -- is as rewarding as it is instantaneous, proving perhaps, that there is still plenty of room in contemporary literature for cool, calculated, adventuresome risk-taking stories."--

"Amendt's beautiful and incisive prose illuminates how we remember the past, both the good moments and the bad. Liquidating Perry is a captivating read that pulls the reader into an intimate family and doesn't let go." -- Christopher Connor, 2014 AWP Intro Journal Project Winner ABOUT ZACHARY AMENDT Zachary Amendt's short fiction has appeared in anthologies alongside George Saunders, James Brown and Jonathan Ames.
