false 19636 2 Now back in print, a dazzling collection of stories about childhood from such writers as Jamaica Kincaid and Amy Tan. <P>"When writers of fiction have made the effort to explore the mottled landscape of a child's secrets and understanding, they have often created stories of ferocious poignancy," Lorrie Moore writes in her Introduction to this exceptional collection of stories, in which the contradictions and hypocrisies of the adult world are seen through the eyes of children. In this collection of tales by some of today's best writers, including Margaret Atwood, Toni Cade Bambara, Charles Baxter, Spalding Gray, Susan Minot, and Alice Munro, each story is told by a child character or by the adult who was that child, skillfully preserving the child's voice and role as both an actor and a witness in the drama. <P>Chosen by the acclaimed writer Lorrie Moore for their insight and literary brilliance, these stories range across age, gender, class, ethnicity, and geography. They will resonate with readers as they convey not only individual stories of heartache and joy but also universal themes of growing up and coming to see, if not understand, the world in a new and different way. 20856 1992 I Know Some Things: Stories About Childhood by Contemporary Writers total:55|5:13|4:21|3:17|2:4|1:0| 55 208 126 5 5 0 false false Thu Sep 03 12:18:46 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 03 12:19:46 -0700 2009 4 1 false false Sat Jun 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 22 13:48:50 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 13 21:34:22 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Jun 20 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri May 09 10:01:59 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 02 12:02:49 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri May 11 20:25:40 -0700 2007 Sat May 26 19:52:44 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Mon Sep 28 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Feb 24 08:17:22 -0800 2009 Tue Oct 13 14:14:47 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Nov 10 05:06:09 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 10 05:06:09 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 07 08:19:17 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 08:19:17 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 06 10:54:26 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 10:54:26 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 14 20:41:08 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 20:41:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Oct 12 07:36:40 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 07:36:40 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 01 04:52:09 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 04:52:09 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 28 08:21:50 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 28 08:21:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 28 05:49:11 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 28 05:49:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 27 21:34:43 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 21:34:43 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 24 07:06:31 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 07:06:31 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 23 17:30:59 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 17:30:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 20 09:17:19 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 09:17:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1993 Sat Sep 19 13:46:08 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 19 13:46:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 19 13:02:29 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 19 13:02:29 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Sep 18 11:17:32 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 18 11:17:32 -0700 2009
