| book description |
At a Halloween party in 1999, a writer slept with the devil. She sees him again and again throughout her life and she writes him stories about beautiful and impossible things. Craft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil is an intoxicating and unsettling linked collection that lures readers into surreal pockets of the United States and Brazil where they’ll find bite-size Americans in vending machines and the ghosts of people who are not dead. With a singular voice in the narrative-bending tradition of Kafka, Cortázar, and Bulgakov, Lima speaks to Brazilian-American immigrant experiences - of ambition, fear, heartbreak, and home - with equal parts warmth and agitation. Strange, intimate, haunted, and hungry - Craft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil is a powerful experience: once read, you’re as much a part of the stories as they’re a part of you. The collection includes: “Rapture,†“Ghost Story,†“Tropicália,†“Antropógaga,†“Idle Hands,†“Rent,†“Porcelain,†“Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory,†and “Hasselblad.â€
