You, bleeding childhood / by Mari, Michele,1955-author.(CARDINAL)871861; Moore, Robert Brian,translator.;
Italy's great chronicler of the macabre and of growing up geeky. Longbefore the latest vogue for autofiction, Michele Mari, one of Italy's mostbeloved authors, cast his mind back to the days of his own childhood, and foundit crawling with monsters. Raisedon comic books and science fiction, the young Mari constructed an alternateuniverse for himself untouched by uncomprehending grownups or sadistic peers.Compared to the horrors of real life, Long John Silver and Cthulhu made forpositively cuddly company; but little boys raised by beasts may well grow upbeastly-or never grow up at all. Waking or sleeping, the obsessions of Mari's youth seem to haunt his every adult thought. You, Bleeding Childhood standsas his first attempt to catalog this cabinet of wonders. Cultclassics since their first publication, these loosely connected stories standas the ideal introduction to a fantasist on a par with Kafka,Poe, and Borges.

Moral disorder / by Atwood, Margaret,1939-(CARDINAL)145727;
In these ten interrelated stories Atwood traces the course of a life and also the lives intertwined with it, while evoking the drama and the humour that colour common experiences -- the birth of a baby, divorce and remarriage, old age and death. With settings ranging from Toronto, northern Quebec, and rural Ontario, the stories begin in the present, as a couple no longer young situate themselves in a larger world no longer safe. Then the narrative goes back in time to the forties and moves chronologically forward toward the present.

Antiquities / by Ozick, Cynthia,author.(CARDINAL)152213;
"Lloyd Wilkinson Petrie, one of the seven surviving trustees of the now defunct (for 34 years) Temple Academy for Boys, is preparing a memoir of his days at the school, intertwined with a description of present events. As he navigates, with faltering recall , between the subtle anti-semitism that pervaded the school's ethos and his fascination with his own family history--in particular, his illustrious cousin, the renowned archaeologist Sir Flinders Petrie (check out his Wikipedia entry!), the source of his interest in antiquity--he reconstructs the story of his encounter from his school days with a younger student named Ben-Zion Elefantin, who seems to belong to a lost ancient Jewish sect. From this seed emerges one of Ozick's most wondrous tales, one that displays her delight in Jamesian irony and the mythical flavor of a Kafka parable, woven into her own distinct voice."--
