This slim, intimate volume of thirteen stories explores paternal, filial, and spousal love (and disappointment, and nostalgia, and panic) through a narrator who bemoans his inability to wear a trench coat well, and who finally accuses himself of being "pusillanimous." Yet in these encounters and these endings, in these details and these feelings, a compassionate, small portrait of a life emerges. Terse, droll, sometimes absurd but always lucid, PaÌmies casts his gaze on the urge to write as seen through his mother's final days; on his teenage fantasy that his father was actually Jorge SempruÌn; and on situations such as adopting a dog to staunch a failing marriage, or a father asked to play the part of a corpse in his son's short film. In this phantasmagoria of failure and loss, PaÌmies confronts us-drawing us in with his use of the second person address-with the omnipresence of well-intentioned lies despite which it may be impossible to ever make anyone else happy"-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a Originally published in Catalan as L'art de portar gavardina in 2018 by Quaderns Crema, Barcelona. 600 10 $a PaÌmies, Sergi, $d 1960- $v Translations into English. 600 17 $a PaÌmies, Sergi, $d 1960- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00255694 655 7 $a short stories. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300202607 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726740 655 7 $a Translations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423791 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Nouvelles. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000322 776 08 $i Online version: $a PaÌmies, Sergi, 1960- $t Art of wearing a trench coat $d New York : Other Press, [2021] $z 9781635420791 $w (DLC) 2020029877 700 1 $a West, Adrian Nathan, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023433.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8DA4A8C6664511EDB99D19AA23ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
