Evanescence - Paperback

by Audrey Borenstein (Author)

During fi fty years of writing fiction. Favoring the decades as nesting dolls for her interplay of imagination with memory, she evokes the ever shifting spirit of the times through the lives of her characters, creatures of days swift flowing from time past through the evanescent present toward the some days of an ever-receding horizon. Shadows of a growing distance from youthful dreams of invincibility Borenstein's twelve stories in Evanescence: Stories: 1950s-2000 are literary timepieces she fashioned lengthen across "the American century" as it grows older. Her Afterword celebrates the short story as self-replenishing for readers journeying on from a once-upon-a-time moment in American history.
