Book Synopsis The One Marvelous Thing by : Rikki Ducornet

Download or read book The One Marvelous Thing written by Rikki Ducornet and published by Dalkey Archive Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In some 30 pieces, ranging in length from a single paragraph to nine pages, Ducornet explores the bonds of marriage and female friendship, takes on the worlds of art and academe, plays with language, spins fairy tales, and looks to a future of limited sensory experience in which a generation lacks mouth, tongue, and teeth. In "Poet," an insomniac titles her book The Greenhouse as Gas Chamber after accepting a grant from the Fossil Fuel Foundation; in the title story, a shopping trip intended to find "one marvelous thing" has unintended consequences, and in "The Dickmare", a bivalve, increasingly unhappy with her husband and at the height of her beauty after shedding her shell, contemplates her future.
