The Brink: Stories (P.S. (Paperback)) - Tapa blanda

"Bunn's stories are interested in all kinds of extremity, but their attention is subtle and nuanced, the details pitch-perfect. They evoke longing and confusion with tremendous tenderness, like a lantern set at the edge of a dark crevice: the light falls softly and precisely, illuminating mysteries."--Leslie Jamison

The Brink is an extraordinary collection."--Jill McCorkle
