Book excerpt: From the author of SOPHIE'S WORLD, a modern fairy tale with a philosophical twist. 'It should be read by all' VOGUE 'My father died eleven years ago. I was only four then. I never thought I'd hear from him again, but now we're writing a book together' To Georg Røed, his father is no more than a shadow, a distant memory. But then one day his grandmother discovers some pages stuffed into the lining of an old red pushchair. The pages are a letter to Georg, written just before his father died, and a story, 'The Orange Girl'. But 'The Orange Girl' is no ordinary story - it is a riddle from the past and centres around an incident in his father's youth. One day he boarded a tram and was captivated by a beautiful girl standing in the aisle, clutching a huge paper bag of luscious-looking oranges. Suddenly the tram gave a jolt and he stumbled forward, sending the oranges flying in all directions. The girl simply hopped off the tram leaving Georg's father with arms full of oranges. Now, from beyond the grave, he is asking his son to help him finally solve the puzzle of her identity.

Book excerpt: Aku mesti mengajukan pertanyaan serius kepadamu, Georg, dan itulah sebabnya aku menulis. Akan tetapi, agar mampu mengajukan pertanyaan ini, pertama-tama aku harus menyampaikan cerita sedih. Bagaimana perasaan Anda jika mendapat surat seperti di atas dari ayah Anda yang meninggal sebelas tahun yang lalu? Bingung, tentunya. Itulah yang dialami Georg Røed pada usianya yang ke-15 tahun. Dia tak habis pikir mengapa ayahnya, di kala menjelang wafat, memutuskan untuk menuliskan kisah cintanya dengan seorang gadis misterius. Si Gadis Jeruk, demikian ayahnya menyebut gadis tersebut. Siapa sebenarnya si Gadis Jeruk itu? Dan mengapa pula ayahnya menanyakan kabar Teleskop Ruang Angkasa Hubble? Sepanjang isi buku ini, bersama Georg, Anda akan diajak menjelajahi sebuah dunia yang di dalamnya kehidupan nyata dijalani seperti dalam dongeng. Dari sebuah kisah cinta, beralih ke perenungan tentang alam semesta, sampai pada pertanyaan filosofis tentang hidup, akhirnya mungkin Anda pun bisa menjawab pertanyaan ayah Georg: sebuah pertanyaan yang sangat penting bagi hidup kita.

Book Synopsis Orange World and Other Stories by : Karen Russell

Download or read book Orange World and Other Stories written by Karen Russell. This book was released on 2019-05-14. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Pulitzer Finalist and universally beloved author of the New York Times best sellers Swamplandia! and Vampires in the Lemon Grove, a stunning new collection of short fiction that showcases Karen Russell’s extraordinary, irresistible gifts of language and imagination. Karen Russell’s comedic genius and mesmerizing talent for creating outlandish predicaments that uncannily mirror our inner in lives is on full display in these eight exuberant, arrestingly vivid, unforgettable stories. In“Bog Girl”, a revelatory story about first love, a young man falls in love with a two thousand year old girl that he’s extracted from a mass of peat in a Northern European bog. In “The Prospectors,” two opportunistic young women fleeing the depression strike out for new territory, and find themselves fighting for their lives. In the brilliant, hilarious title story, a new mother desperate to ensure her infant’s safety strikes a diabolical deal, agreeing to breastfeed the devil in exchange for his protection. The landscape in which these stories unfold is a feral, slippery, purgatorial space, bracketed by the void—yet within it Russell captures the exquisite beauty and tenderness of ordinary life. Orange World is a miracle of storytelling from a true modern master.
