My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me: Forty New Fairy Tales
Michael Cunningham, Francine Prose, Aimee Bender, Kelly Link, Jim Shepard, and more than thirty other extraordinary writers celebrate fairy tales in this thrilling new volume. Inspire by everything from Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen" and "The Little Match Girl" to Charles Perrault's "Bluebeard" and "Cinderella" to the Brothers Grimm's "Hansel and Gretel" and "Rumpelstiltskin" to fairy tales by Goethe and Calvino and from China, Japan, Vietnam, Russia, Norway, and Mexico, here are stories that soar into boundless realms, filled with mischief and mystery and magic, and renewed by the lifeblood of invention. Although rooted in hundreds of years of tradition, they chart the imaginative frontiers of the twenty-first century as powerfully as they evoke our earliest encounters with literature.Author: Bernheimer Kate, Maguire Gregory, Williams Joy, Keats Jonathon, Petrushevskaya Ludmilla, Nutting Alissa, Prose Francine, Brockmeier Kevin, LaBute Neil, Jackson Shelley, McSweeney Joyelle, Millet Lydia, Bynum Sarah Shun-lien, Evenson Brian, Cunningham Michael, Fowler Karen Joy, Ducornet Rikki, Schaffert Timothy, Vaz Katherine, Brennan Karen, Corin Lucy, Kaminsky Ilya, Martone Michael, Link Kelly, Adrian Chris, Shepard Jim, Davis Kathryn, Wells Kellie, Mark Sabrina Orah, Bender Aimee, Sandor Marjorie, Oates Joyce Carol, Updike John, Alameddine Rabih, Richter Stacey, Gaiman Neil, Block Francesca Lia, Hoang Lily, Awa Naoko, Itō Hiromi, Mejia Michael, Addonizio Kim
