Yellow Cheese and Other Short Stories
Cód:

In this remarkable collection of short stories, Joseph Bennardo spins tales based not on whimsical fantasy but on real-life observations and experiences-tales that modern readers can relate to and enjoy. Yellow Cheese, the title story, offers a glimpse of the world through the eyes of an unsophisticated young boy. He has a close relationship with his aunt, but he questions why she works slavishly to keep her neer-do-well, unemployed, unappreciative husband happy. As the boys awareness grows, he begins to suspect that his cousin, Chiara, is a spoiled brat who is following in her fathers footsteps and has mastered the technique of manipulating her mother. Later, after returning from college, he views the world through more mature eyes. He realizes that his beloved aunt is being exploited by her daughter, who has predictably off-loaded the responsibility of raising her two out-of-wedlock children to her mother. He hypothesizes that his cousin has become a yellow cheese addict, his metaphor for those who shoulder no responsibility for their conduct and, instead, expect others to facilitate their pursuit of pleasure. Yellow Cheese and Other Short Stories is an intelligent, thought-provoking collection that demonstrates Bennardos wide range of characters, experiences, and insights.
