A Walk in My World: International Short Stories about Youth

223 pp. | Persea | December, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-89255-237-9 $$17.95
(4) YA Jamaica Kincaid, V. S. Pritchett, and several Nobel laureates are featured in an anthology that showcases multinational perspectives on growing up. Although unquestionably well-rendered, the stories are often written from a distanced adult perspective, which forfeits immediacy. Additionally, the protagonists range from Santa-believing youngsters to teenagers, making the audience for the book uncertain. Helpful biographical notes are included.
Reviewer: Peter D. Sieruta
