About The Book
face=Arial>Not a book for children, but rather a collection of short stories
dealing with loss of some kind, (emotional, spiritual, physical), The Children s
Corner is a disturbing and thought-provoking, sometimes hilarious look at the
human condition. Ranging from
morbid to hysterically funny, these rare and occasionally bizarre glimpses into
the human heart are deftly crafted jewels that show us the most labyrinthine
recesses of the human psyche. One
story, Christmas Comes but Once a Year, is a humorous look at a series of
Christmas letters gone awry, and a brilliant study in denial, while another,
Summer Music, deals with a husband and wife coming to terms with prearranged
infidelity. Crook, the only
novella in this collection, tells the story of a nephew visiting his
Alzheimer-ridden aunt and the plethora of memories that surface because of that
experience. The title story, The Children s Corner, centers around a series of
lies and the ramifications that these reckless verbal fabrications have on an
aspiring teenage pianist in a small Mississippi town.
face=Arial>McCrae covers a great deal of territory in these remarkable gems,
with topics that include everything from family dysfunction, denial,
pathological lying, self-mutilation, and failed suicide attempts, to
Alzheimer s, infidelity, homophobia, primitive urges, tornadoes, and
cross-dressing. The settings for the stories range from the rural South to the
Midwest, and from New Orleans to the trendy Connecticut town of Westport.style=”mso-spacerun: yes”> All the characters are fallible and
distinctive, and McCrae shows us how each and every one of us, no matter who we
are or where we live, have angels and demons to wrestle
with.
