Summary:
I Live With You is a sophisticated collection of fierce, compassionate fiction marked by an absurdist sense of humor. A contemporary of Jorge Luis Borges, Italo Calvino, and Fay Weldon, Carol Emshwiller has been lauded for her originality and lyricism. These striking short stories skillfully explore themes of war, seduction, and censorship: An Eden emerges from the wreckage of burning books in “The Library," “Boys" sets a weary general and his sons against a village of determined mothers, and “I Live With You (and You Don't Know It)" brings a necessary chaos from an uninvited guest.
