One of the most acclaimed writers of our day award-winning author Elizabeth McCracken is an undisputed virtuoso of the short story and this new collection features her most vibrant and heartrending work to date.In these stories the mysterious bonds of family are tested transformed fractured and fortified. A recent widower and his adult son ferry to a craggy Scottish island in search of puffins. An actress who plays a children's game-show villainess ushers in the New Year with her deadbeat half brother. A mother pining for her children feasts on loaves of challah to fill the void. A new couple navigates a tightrope walk toward love. And on a trip to a Texas water park with their son two fathers each confront a personal fear.With sentences that crackle and spark and showcase her trademark wit McCracken traces how our closely held desires-for intimacy atonement comfort-bloom and wither against the indifferent passing of time. Her characters embark on journeys that leave them indelibly changed-and so do her readers. The Souvenir Museum showcases the talents of one of our finest contemporary writers as she tenderly takes the pulse of our collective and individual lives.
