Readers looking for something different will appreciate this work--and, given his writing style, might wish that he also applied his talents to poetry in the future.\" --Library Journal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Late Work of Margaret Kroftis begins during the later days of Margaret Kroftis's life. She is a writer, living alone. As she experiences a personal tragedy the narrative moves forward in an emotionally coherent manner that exists separately from linear time. Themes of loss and grief cycle and repeat and build upon each other. They affect the text and create a complex structure of crosshatched narratives within narratives. These mirror each other while also telling unique stories of loss that are both separate from Margaret's as well as deeply intertwined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis groundbreaking debut demonstrates an affinity with the work of such contemporary European writers as Agota Kristof and Marie Redonnet, while existing in a place and time that is uniquely American. Composed in brief paragraphs and structured as a series of vignettes, pieces of fiction, and autobiography, The Late Work of Margaret Kroftis creates a world in which a woman's life is refracted through dreamlike logic. Coupled with the spare language in which it is written, this logic distorts and heightens the emotional truths the characters come to terms with, while elevating them beyond the simply literal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781933354941\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 8.3 Inches, Length: 5.4 Inches, Weight: 0.24471311082 Pounds, Width: 0.4 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e en\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mark Gluth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53801789718835,"sku":"9781933354941","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/9617373482876.jpg?v=1785980674","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/the-late-work-of-margaret-kroftis-a-novella","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
