AN OBSERVER BOOK OF THE YEAR AN EVENING STANDARD BOOK OF THE YEAR
'What was it about complaining that felt so good? You and your
fellow sufferer emerging from a thorough session as if from a spa
bath, refreshed and tingling?' The first-ever collection of short
stories from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jeffrey Eugenides
presents characters in the midst of personal and national
emergencies. We meet Kendall, a failed poet who, envious of other
people's wealth during the real estate bubble, becomes an
embezzler; and Mitchell, a lovelorn liberal arts graduate on a
search for enlightenment; and Prakrti, a high school student whose
wish to escape the strictures of her family leads to a drastic
decision that upends the life of a middle-aged academic. Jeffrey
Eugenides's bestselling novels Middlesex, The Virgin Suicides and
The Marriage Plot have shown him to be an astute observer of the
crises of adolescence, self-discovery and family love. These
stories, from one of our greatest authors, explore equally rich and
intriguing territory. Narratively compelling and beautifully
written, Fresh Complaint shows all of Eugenides's trademark humour,
compassion and complex understanding of what it is to be human.
