β¦ Synopsis
Nancy Zafris is a critically acclaimed writer because of the highly distinctive, piercing intelligence that underlies her works. Her gifts accumulate in a vision that somehow combines just the right amount of irony, subtle humor, and compassion for characters you wonβt see anywhere else in contemporary fiction. Those characters are emotionally all over the map too: resolute, sympathetic, and indelibleβtheir stories can be laugh-out-loud funny one minute and bittersweet the next. InThe Home Jar, Zafris reconfirms herself to be among the keenest observers of the human condition around. This is her first short story collection since the critically acclaimedThe People I Know, which won the Flannery OβConnor Award for Short Fiction, and her most famous work, theNew York Timesnotable novelThe Metal Shredders. Zafrisβs very loyal following of readers will heraldThe Home Jaras a major event in American letters.
