About this title

Synopsis

From the bestselling author of The Girls comes a “brilliant” (The New York Times) story collection exploring the dark corners of human experience.

“Daddy’s ten masterful, provocative stories confirm that Cline is a staggering talent.”—Esquire

NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

An absentee father collects his son from boarding school after a shocking act of violence. A nanny to a celebrity family hides out in Laurel Canyon in the aftermath of a tabloid scandal. A young woman sells her underwear to strangers. A notorious guest arrives at a placid, not-quite rehab in the Southwest.

In ten remarkable stories, Emma Cline portrays moments when the ordinary is disturbed, when daily life buckles, revealing the perversity and violence pulsing under the surface. She explores characters navigating the edge, the limits of themselves and those around them: power dynamics in families, in relationships, the distance between their true and false selves. They want connection, but what they provoke is often closer to self-sabotage. What are the costs of one’s choices? Of the moments when we act, or fail to act? These complexities are at the heart of Daddy, Emma Cline’s sharp-eyed illumination of the contrary impulses that animate our inner lives.

Store Description

I have been collecting books for 30 years and have recently turned my passion into an online bookstore. I specialize in literary first editions, US politics, and poetry, but I have a knack for finding interesting and unusual books in all areas. Each book is hand selected and come from multiple sources. Consequently, I believe it is important to describe the books in as much detail as possible. Books are now stored in a smoke-free home. I am adding to my collection everyday, so please return frequently and let me know if there is a special book you would like me to look for. Contact me with any questions or comments at hovland@castlehousebooks.com.
