Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Winner of the 2000 Mary McCarthy Prize in Short FictionWelcome to the strange, wonderful world of Brock Clarke. Here you will meet florists, dental hygienists, high school teachers, and peddlers of porno novelty items, all trying to be normal, good people and failing miserably. Reaffirming that "life, at its core, is embarrassing," What We Won't Do is a collection of tales about the miseries of the average, blue-collar worker who is anything but average. Here is a portrait of the Homer Simpsons and Archie Bunkers of the world, Knut Hamson style. These stories are more than insightful; they're downright funny."The honesty herein is not the sugarcoated sort, it's the sort that exacts revenge by goading others into doing what we can't or won't do ourselves. . . . You haven't read these stories before, and that's the highest compliment that I can pay them. That and the fact that they made me laugh, out loud, and frightened me a little, and still do."--from the Foreword by Mark RichardMarketing plans for What We Won't Do- Author tour in South Carolina (Clemson, Greenville), and upstate New York (Syracuse, Rochester).- Will coordinate additional tour with Harcourt upon release of his novel, The Ordinary White Boy, in September 2001.- Newsletter, brochure, catalog, and postcard mailings.- Advertisements in key literary and trade magazines.Brock Clarke is from upstate New York.
