A blazingly original, profoundly moving new work of fiction by a writer whose world–and imagination–knows no boundaries. “I don’t know what planet Judy Budnitz comes from,” said Newsweek on the publication of her fiction debut, Flying Leap, “but I’m happy to have her. Tremendous . . . funny, dark, adventurous, slanted, and enchanted.” These twelve astonishingly inventive stories–which take us into the heart of America and around the globe, from suburban backyards and swimming pools to war-torn streets and fallout shelters–are riveting, seductive, and impossible to forget. In “Flush,” a mammogram prompts a dark comedy of blurred identities between a mother and her two adult daughters. In “Elephant and Boy,” a surrogate mother-and-son bond, tinged with the erotic, is formed when a philanthropist attempts to “civilize” a young elephant handler. “Nadia” sounds the depths of a young woman’s complex feelings toward a friend’ s mail-order bride from Eastern Europe. “Preparedness”–an Orwellian tale in Technicolor–imagines rapture in the wake of imminent apocalypse. And in “Where We Come From,” a pregnant woman’s many failed attempts to cross the border do not lessen her resolve to give birth on U.S. soil to a “nice big American baby.” Magical, poignant, often transcendent, these are virtuoso modern fables that mine our stores of hidden urges, misunderstandings, and blind passions, inviting us on a voyage through places and times at once deeply familiar and wondrously strange.

This book was released on 2006. American baby available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Si buscas un descubrimiento, aquí lo tienes: se llama Judy Budnitz. Sus historias son impactantes, y combinan la extravagancia y la cercanía de un modo magistral: tan pronto nos sentimos cerca de sus personajes como notamos una jarra de agua helada cayendo sobre nuestras ideas. Estos doce relatos son imposibles de olvidar. Nos llevan del corazón de América a una ciudad en guerra del Este de Europa; conocemos a una madre que quiere a toda costa que el bebé que espera nazca en Estados Unidos, o cómo una mamografía puede desatar una oscura comedia de identidades; bucea, por ejemplo, en los sentimientos que genera la esposa «por catálogo» de un amigo o en la reacción de unos padres ante un hijo que es muy diferente de cómo lo esperaban... American Baby es la obra de un talento sin límites. Mágicas, certeras, trascendentes, estas fábulas contemporáneas nos invitan a viajar a lugares y momentos que son a la vez profundamente familiares y maravillosamente extraños. «Esta colección es original, inolvidable y completamente conmovedora. Te lo crees todo, y no puedes pasar las páginas lo suficientemente deprisa. Es una de las más sólidas y valientes jóvenes escritoras que tenemos.» Dave Eggers, editor de McSweeneys «Excelente... Joven y con un talento precoz, Budnitz escribe relatos que hacen pensar con una imaginación salvaje... El choque entre el sentido político de Budnitz con su subversiva imaginación da a estos cuentos su particular atmósfera.» Tom Perrotta, New York Times Book Review «Estas historias magistrales emocionarán a los lectores de ficción literaria que tengan sed de una innovadora voz americana.» Publishers Weekly «American Baby te llevará al otro lado del espejo (al lado de Judy Budnitz) donde siempre ocurre algo emocionante. Todo el mundo debería leer esto.» Hannah Tinti, autora de Animales sueltos «Poderosa... Elegante y original...» Lydia Millet, Washington Post Book World «No tiene igual entre los jóvenes escritores literarios de hoy. Algún día una generación deberá pensar un nuevo nombre para este tipo especial de narración; hasta entonces, agradezcamos haberlo leído los primeros.» Matthew Pearl, autor de El club Dante

An Innocent Man the Life and Times of an American Baby Boomer available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Come travel back to a different but vaguely familiar world. Journey to a time when inflation barely existed, gasoline was cheap, cars had big gas-guzzling engines, and people almost never locked their front doors. Written in the first person, An Innocent Man follows the life and time of Edgar Rice Baker from his childhood as he encounters all of the trappings, joys, and nuances of the Baby Boomer years. It was an age of innocence, when kids walked to school, when beer and liquor were the worst things your kids could get in to, and when getting a drivers license and a set of wheels (where the heater worked and the engine ran) were the most important first steps in transitioning to adulthood. If you are over fifty, do you remember the good old days? Those were happy days of wine and roses, when life was simpler, and we all were more innocent. An Innocent Man transports us back to the fifties and sixtiesfor a nostalgic walk down the primrose lane.
