by Lorrie Moore (Editor)
The Faber Book of Contemporary Stories about Childhood presents the innocence and knowingness of a child's-eye view as it confronts the contradictions and hypocrisies of the adult world. Some of today's best writers, including Margaret Atwood, Toni Cade Bambara, Spalding Gray, Jamaica Kincaid, Susan Minot, Alice Munro, Edna O'Brian, Ben Okri and Amy Tan, capture childhood incidents that are comic, startling, touching and disturbing.
