- W615716386 abstract "Lewis only collection of short fiction, was originally published in 1946, but it remains as quietly haunting today as it was then. Set in small communities of the upper Midwest and northern California in the '30s and '40s, these stories focus on the imperceptible processes, or cycles, connecting youth with age, despair and hope, life and death. Through a variety of characters (mostly female) at various stages of life, we glimpse the motion of these cycles. To some, they appear incomprehensible and therefore wholly destructive. To others, they are the source of mystery, enlightenment, and understanding. Lewis spare, understated style allows us to see beneath action and character to the forces which, in the world of her fiction, drive both. Lewis weaves these perceptions into themes as varied as initiation ( River ), the succession of life and generations ( The House ), life-in-death ( The Apricot Harvest ), and, ultimately, life beyond death ( Good-bye, Son ). Added to the collection in this edition is The Breakable Cup, the story of a very young boy and a very old woman who recognize the frailty in each other and form a bond across generations. In the longest of these stories, Good-bye Son, the themes and settings of the earlier pieces come together in an extended psychological ghost story. Here, Sara McDermott, whose only child died at birth, is later visited by the boy on four separate occasions, each preceding a disaster in which he would have died as a child or young man. Sara s mingled joy and grief at each visit gradually give way to an understanding and acceptance of the place of death in nature and the bond that death creates among the living." @default.
