Rec. #392: The Courts of Love



What: In this collection of short stories, author Ellen Gilchrist gives us magic realism in a solar-powered house, small domestic disasters, and people revisiting past affairs.

Representative quote: "From Aurora Harris to anyone who received my parents' incredibly stupid Christmas letter and believe anything it says about me. In the first place I do not look anything like that picture and did not know they were sending it out."
[from "Update"]

Connections to previous Wreckage: Also from Gilchrist are The Cabal and Other Stories (Rec. #216), Light Can Be Both Wave and Particle (Rec. #159), Nora Jane: A Life in Stories (Rec. #25), and Victory Over Japan (Rec. #324).
