Infos

The singular, enchanting debut story collection from Elizabeth McCracken, now back in print as part of Ecco's "e;Art of the Story"e; series, and with a new introduction from the authorCalled "e;astonishingly assured"e; by The Guardian, the nine stories that make up Elizabeth McCracken's debut story collection deal with oddball characters doing their very best to forge connections with those around them. In "e;It's Bad Luck to Die"e; a woman marries an older tattoo artist and finds comfort in agreeing to act as a canvas for his most elaborate work. "e;Some Have Entertained Angels, Unaware"e; follows a young girl as she comes face to face with a cast of eccentrics her recently-widowed father has invited to live in their expansive but dilapidated home. And in the title story, a young man and his wife are perplexed when an outspoken old woman shows up on their doorstep for a visit, claiming to be a distant aunt, even though she can't be traced on a family tree. At once captivating and offbeat, Here's Your Hat What's Your Hurry is a dazzling showcase of the early years of Elizabeth McCracken's prodigious talent.
