Mary Ruefle Orden de los libros (cronológico)

Tristimania is Mary Ruefle’s eighth book of poems.

Following the acclaimed Dunce , which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, comes Mary Ruefle’s latest prose publication The Book . True to its bold title, The Book affirms Mary Ruefle’s legacy as (dubbed by Publishers Weekly ) “the patron saint of childhood and the everyday.”  With the same curiosity found in Madness, Rack, and Honey and My Private Property , Ruefle’s prose here feels both omniscient and especially intimate. “It seems I believe in a bygone world though I no longer live there,” she writes. “Will I continue to read about all that is dusty?” In the spirit of friendship, Ruefle generously invites us to query ourselves as readers and thinkers in a world that will eventually endure without us.
