Chambers most famous and most highly regarded work is undoubtedly, 'The King in Yellow'-a collection of stories held by the common theme of a drama of the same title which drives those who read it to insanity.

Описание:
Growing up in a Spanish American culture in the American West at the turn of the twentieth century invites assimilation, a process made all the more conflicted through the evolving stages of individuation and the tensions of political correctness and hyphenated identities: Anglo-American, Spanish-American, Mexican-American, Native American, and the subcultures of Stompers, Pachucos, Chicanos, Cholos, Indios, and Squares. This book contains a dozen interconnected stories set against these laminated ethnicities. Whether read as love songs or laments these soul stories all serenade the American Southwest and its allure as a landscape of adventure and romance during the transition from Old to New West. It is said that a land determines a people and is determined by them, a belief told lyrically and poignantly in these story serenades. Includes Readers Guide.

Описание: Souls Island is an islet among others on a lonely lake. Extremely cold in the winter and just warm enough in the summer to sail. Lars and Lara meet each other while he is fishing and she is windsurfing. He is old enough to be her father but that does not deter Lara who is a pathological liar and a narcissist. Her only interest is financial gain no matter the cost to others. It seems she has obtained what she wanted until she makes one fatal mistake. Ten other short stories complete the book, some humorous, some love and all with a twist at the end.
