These short stories filled with
"narrative grace and rare craftsmanship
" chronicle the loss of innocence and the anguish of young love (
San Francisco Chronicle
).
First Love and Other Sorrows is the hauntingly beautiful debut collection of short stories from American master Harold Brodkey. Written when the author was in his twenties, these strong, affecting tales recall the intoxicating joy of young, springtime love, while lamenting the betrayal of dreams and false ideals in the glaring light of reality.
Set in the Midwest during the 1950s,
First Love and Other Sorrows centers around a Jewish family that has recently lost its patriarch-and with him the world of privilege. Through the eyes of a son, a sister, and a mother-each one struggling to find a foothold in both family and society-these stories explore class prejudice, obsessive love, and the tragic foibles and emotional truths of being human.
First Love and Other Sorrows is masterful fiction from an extraordinary literary artist.
