'Too good... You should read her and not look away' Anne Enright, Guardian'The stories are essays, the essays are stories. Even when they are not literally true, they contain the kind of truth that great fiction thrives on' The Times'Literature's best kept secret' IndependentWeaving a complex tapestry drawn from interviews, anecdotes, moments from Beard's own life, and sheer imagination, these extraordinary pieces embody the hospitality of spectacular writing: they are spaces you fall into and are reluctant to leave. From the intimate drama of everyday life - school crushes, dog clinics, divorce - to the terror and excitement of a fox lurking by a campsite or a murderer in your home, Beard flawlessly distils what it means to live deeply as we hurtle through wonder and grief, love and heartbreak. Bringing together pieces from Beard's first collection, The Boys of My Youth, and Festival Days, which was published two decades later, The Collected Works showcases Jo Ann Beard's impressive breadth, quiet brilliance, and timeless prose.

An Irish Times Book of the Year 2023'An extraordinary achievement' Mary Gaitskill'In the hands of a maestro, less can be so much more' Independent Cheri has been living with cancer for many years. Now, she is dying. As she navigates the final weeks of her life, and takes charge of the manner of her death, she is flooded with childhood memories, and returns to the present with a renewed appreciation for the brilliance of life around her: the autumn has never been so beautiful, her daughters never as radiant. Brave, incredibly strong and deeply loved, Cheri makes one last nerve-wracking journey across the country with her girls and her friends, knowing relief waits welcoming as a frozen lake on the other side. A masterpiece of fiction and memory, Cheri is a heart-breaking but glorious celebration of all the moments of beauty and pain that make an individual life, right up until its very last moments.

Uusi kirjailija Keltaisessa kirjastossa!
Hurja, riipaiseva ja väliin liki sietämättömän jännittävä. Jo Ann Beardin Juhlapäiviä-novellikokoelma särkee paitsi genrerajat myös lukijan sydämen.
Jo Ann Beard yhdistää kirjallisen taituruuden muistin voimaan ja reportaasien armottomaan suoruuteen. Hän vangitsee kertomuksiinsa jokapäiväisen elämän koko kirjon, pienistä valonpilkahduksista hetkiin, jolloin elämä ja kuolema ovat vaakalaudalla. Beardin teksteissä intensiivinen toden tuntu vie lukijan suoraan tapahtumien ja tunnetilojen ytimeen.
"Beard tekee kunniaa ihmisyyden kauneudelle, pyhyydelle ja koomisuudelle." – Sigrid Nunez
”Omintakeinen ja pahaenteinen vaan ei synkkä. Beardin pisteliäs huumori ja järkähtämätön myötätunto tekevät hänestä parasta seuraa.” – Jonathan Franzen
Yhdysvaltalainen Jo Ann Beard (s. 1955) on kirjailija ja esseisti. Hänen töitään on julkaistu laajalti mm. The New Yorkerissa, Tin Housessa ja lukuisissa antologioissa. Hänelle on myönnetty useita arvostettuja palkintoja sekä Guggenheim-säätiön apuraha. Sarah Lawrence Collegessa New Yorkissa opettava Beard on pitkään ollut kirjallisten piirien lemmikki, joka vasta nyt on nousemassa suuren yleisön tietoisuuteen.
