Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

...an American talent...--Stephen King

Pollack writes about times of tragedy and transition insightfully, aware of their everyday quality and of their gravity. In the Mouth is a window onto the amazing tenderness and irrationality of human life.

One story, The Bris, has been selected for The Best American Short-Stories 2008 (Edited by Stephen King and Heidi Pitlor).

Eileen Pollock writes with great acuity, humor, and intelligent resign-ation about the various ways family love is called upon and revealed. This book is terrific company.--Lorrie Moore

These are funny, rueful, wise stories, steeped in absurdity, pain, possibility --the work of a writer who has lived.--Gish Jen

Laurie Blum, November 12, 2008 (view all comments by Laurie Blum)
Having had the awesome opportunity to meet author Eileen Pollack at the JCC Book Fair in W. Bloomfield, MI recently truly enhanced my reading of her "In The Mouth" Stories & Novellas. As a grandmother of six grandsons, I especially laughed & cried as I inhaled "The Bris" which was selected for "The Best American Short Story in 2007." I found her writing to be funny & sad, an examination of family life & its complexities. 4 stars!! Brava!
