Bet They'll Miss Us When We're Gone: Stories Wiggins, Marianne
Very Good.
Hardcover. Hardcover with dustjacket 2nd printing 1991 HarperCollins. Very clean; no marks; pages bright; binding tight. Light edgewear to jacket. 180pp. Language: English. 'Powerful, idiosyncratic voices commanding immediately felt emotions distinguish nearly all 13 stories in Wiggins's (John Dollar) second collection . Most moving are the tales told by old people--a man struggles to recall the words that will summon up his memory of a friend in A Cup of Jo; a recent widower in Balloons 'n' Tunes frets angrily with a neighbor while trying to accommodate his wife's last wishes and accept her absence; a woman in Shibboletboo remembers the childhood cruelty that precipated the muteness of a recently deceased neighbor. Loss and its imminence permeate all these stories by Wiggins, who went into hiding when her then-husband, Salman Rushdie, was targeted for assassination by Islamic radicals. In Croeso I Gymru, the narrator named Marianne, on the lam in Wales with her husband, tries to assimilate the unfamiliar customs and language as a way to combat fear and helplessness. Often unfettered by conventional spelling or diction, Wiggins's stories take us directly to the hearts of her characters, displaying an imposing talent.'--Publishers Weekly, 1991.
