Beskrivning
-- First paperback edition.-- A ghost story unfolds simultaneously across three centuries and two continents; a young cannibal details the daily life and appetites of his clan; a man slowly, and without pain or blood, loses his limbs, his tongue, and his sight. A collection culled from Coleman Dowell's entire career, The Houses of Children displays the wide range of his talent in a dense and beautifully stylistic prose.-- Coleman Dowell is the author of five novels including Island People and Mrs. October Was Here, and a memoir, A Star-Bright Lie, which won an Editor's Choice Lambda Literary Award.-- First published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson (1987).

Recensioner i media
"Strange stories of strange occurances that Dowell turns to effects variously comic, poignant, tragic, ghostly, earthly, or fantastic." -- Booklist "Dowell demonstrates a love of words for their own sake. His prose ranges from enigmatic metaphor to brilliant epiphany." -- Los Angeles Times "A mature and uncommonly gifted stylist." -- Gilbert Sorrentino
