Black Tickets Stories Jayne Anne Phillips by Jayne Anne Phillips 9780307808813, 0307808815 instant download after payment.

With an uncanny ability to depict the lives of men & women who rarely register in our literature, Phillips writes stories that lay bare their suffering & joy. Here are the abused & the abandoned, the violent & the passive, the impoverished & the disenfranchised who populate the small towns & rural byways of the country. A patron of the arts reserves his fondest feeling for the one man who wants it least. A stripper, the daughter of a witch, escapes from poverty into another kind of violence. A young girl during the Depression is caught between the love of her crazy father & the no less powerful love of her sorrowful mother. These are great American stories that have earned a privileged place in our literature.
