Esther Stories

Know about the book -

Esther Stories is written by Peter Orner and published by Little, Brown. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0316224693 (ISBN 10) and 9780316224697 (ISBN 13).

The discovery of a murdered man in a bathrobe by the side of a road, the destruction of a town's historic City Hall building, and the recollection of a cruel wartime decision are equally affecting in Orner's vivid and intimate gaze. The first half of the book concerns the lives of unrelated strangers across the American landscape, and the second introduces two very different Jewish families, one on the East Coast, the other in the Midwest. Yet Orner's real territory is memory, and this book of wide-ranging and innovative stories remains an important and unique contribution to the art of the American short story.
