Jonathan Franzen'One of the very few contemporary prose writers who seem to be doing something independent, energetic, heartfelt.' Lydia DavisA new collection of stories from the 'godmother of flash fiction' (The Paris Review).

In perfectly honed sentences, with a sly and occasionally wild wit, Williams shows us how any moment of any day can open onto disappointment, pleasure, and possibility.

Με λες φτωχοδιάβολο, weirdo, τσουλίτσα, φουκαρά, καμένο χαρτί. Καταναλώνω τσάμπα οξυγόνο μού είπες, ενώ ήμουν ξαπλωμένος μπρούμυτα και μου περνούσες χειροπέδες. Αναρωτιέσαι κι εσύ σε τι χρησιμεύω. Θες να σου πω; Σε κάνω να νιώθεις καλύτερα για τον εαυτό σου. Έχω ρίξει τον πήχη τόσο χαμηλά που με προσπερνάς και νιώθεις σένιος. Τα έχεις καταφέρει. Δεν είσαι εγώ, δεν σε πετάνε έξω από τα μπαρ, δεν είσαι κλεφτρόνι να σε συλλαμβάνουν μέρα μεσημέρι καταμεσής του δρόμου, εσύ κλέβεις αλλιώς.
Όμως, σου παρέχω θέαμα, παραδέξου το. Σε έχω δει τόσες φορές να με κοιτάς με αηδία και οργή. Σε έχω δει κι εσένα που με κοιτάς με συμπόνια λέγοντας oh my god και αηδίες. Λες και με νοιάζει. Είκοσι ζωές στη γη της αφθονίας. Είκοσι αντιήρωες, που το αμερικανικό όνειρο άφησε έξω από τις φτερούγες του, και ξεστρατισμένοι πορεύονται με δεκανίκια και τρύπιες ασπίδες. Τους μισείς θανάσιμα, ή τους αγαπάς πολύ. Λες και τους νοιάζει.

A novel about passion, death, and the ambiguous relationship between art and realityAntonia grows up in rural Corsica, a place of deeply-rooted traditions and strong family ties. When she's fourteen, her uncle, a priest, gives her a camera-suddenly changing the way she looks at the world and igniting a life-long passion. Over two decades later, Antonia runs into Dragan, a soldier whom she had met when she was reporting on the war in the former Yugoslavia. The two spend the night in deep conversation, reminiscing about their experience of the conflict. As she drives home, Antonia loses control of her car, plunges off a cliff and is killed instantly. Tasked with officiating at her funeral, Antonia's uncle is forced to reflect on her life and legacy and on the profound questions they beg about ambition and doubt, passion and guilt, representation and reality. Wide in scope but rich in detail, restrained yet deeply moving, In His Own Image weaves together the story of a life with universal themes that resonate across time and space.

'In some of the most beautiful passages in the novel, Allende explores the gentle but redemptive depths of mature love and the paths it can take . . . Allende has an unflashy wisdom to offer, a maturity that illuminates her storytelling . . . it pursues an age-old question: how to live a full life and find meaning, not just survive or endure one’s past’ Financial Times on In the Midst of Winter

It tells the story of a beautiful and innocent young woman, married at sixteen to a much older man.
