Madonna Stories Paperback - 1993
by Gary Paulsen
An acclaimed Newbery Honor-winning children's writer offers a collection of intense stories for adults. Among the unusual plots: a drunken Vietnam vet helps deliver the second Christ in a cemetery; a young man watches a silent ritual performed by a dying relative; and more.
Summary
From the rear cover
In These Stories, with the spareness of language and the intensity of emotion and imagery that are the hallmarks of his fiction, Gary Paulsen offers up the subject of human vulnerability; he captures it, holds it to a mirror, and marvels at the light and bone-edged beauty there. Here a drunken Vietnam vet stumbles into a cemetery, where he helps to deliver the second Christ; a young man observes a silent ritual performed by his dying father-in-law in an ancient canyon; a boy witnesses the violence of nature in the midst of war; an older and more cynical man discovers inspiration among the ladies of the library. For those familiar with Gary Paulsen's work - including the autobiographical Eastern Sun, Winter Moon and his lyrical tribute to farm life, Clabbered Dirt, Sweet Grass - and for those who are reading his fiction for the first time, The Madonna Stories is an experience that will not be forgotten.
