Beschreibung
Amy Fusselman's first two books, The Pharmacist's Mate and 8, weave surprising beauty out of diverse strands of personal reflection. Half memoir and half philosophical improvisation, each focuses loosely on a relationship with a man in the author's life: The Pharmacist's Mate with her recently deceased father, and 8 with "e;my pedophile"e; (as Fusselman painfully refers to her childhood assailant). Along the way, Fusselman covers sea shanties and artificial insemination, World War II and AC/DC, alternative healers and monster-truck videos. Fusselman's "e;wholly original epigrammatic style"e; (Vogue) "e;makes the world strange again, a place where dying and making life are equally mysterious and miraculous activities"e; (Time Out New York).
