Little Labors

English

By (author): Rivka Galchen

Sei Shonagons Pillow Booka key inspiration for Rivka Galchens new bookcontains a list of Things That Make One Nervous. And wouldnt the blessed event top almost anyones list?

Little Labors is a slanted, enchanted literary miscellany. Varying in length from just a sentence or paragraph to a several-page story or essay, Galchens puzzle pieces assemble into a shining, unpredictable, mordant picture of the ordinary-extraordinary nature of babies and literature. Anecdotal or analytic, each part opens up an odd and tender world of wonder. The 47 Ronin; the black magic of maternal love; babies morphing from pumas to chickens; the quasi-repellent concept of women writers; origami-ophilia in Oklahoma as a gateway drug to a lifelong obsession with Japan; discussions of favorite passages from the Heian masterpieces Genji and The Pillow Book; the frightening prevalence of orange as todays new chic color for baby gifts; Frankenstein as a sort of baby; babies gold mines; babies as tiny Godzillas

Little Laborsatomized and exploratory, conceptually byzantine and freshly forthrightdelights.
