Little Labors (New Directions Paperbook)

In paperback at last: Rivka Galchen’s beloved baby bible―slyly hilarious, surprising, and absolutely essential reading for anyone who has ever had, held, or been a babyIn this enchanting miscellany, Galchen notes that literature has more dogs than babies (and also more abortions), that the tally of children for many great women writers―Jane Bowles, Elizabeth Bishop, Virginia Woolf, Janet Frame, Willa Cather, Patricia Highsmith, Iris Murdoch, Djuna Barnes, Mavis Gallant―is zero, that orange is the new baby pink, that The Tale of Genji has no plot but plenty of drama about paternity, that babies exude an intoxicating black magic, and that a baby is a goldmine.
