Little labors / Rivka Galchen. by Galchen, Rivka. New Directions Publishing, 2016. Call #: 814.6 G148L Subjects Mother and child.   Infants.   Canadian essays -- Women authors.   Canadian essays -- 21st century.   American essays -- Women authors.   American essays -- 21st century. ISBN:  9780811225588 (hc.) Description:  130 pages ; 19 cm Notes:  "A New Directions Book." Summary:  "A droll and dazzling compendium of observations, stories, lists, and brief essays about babies and literature. A slanted, enchanted literary miscellany. Varying in length from just a sentence or paragraph to a several-page story or essay, Galchen's puzzle pieces assemble into a shining, unpredictable, mordant picture of the ordinary-extraordinary nature of babies and literature. Each part opens up an odd and tender world of wonder. The 47 Ronin; the black magic of maternal love; babies morphing from pumas to chickens; origami-ophilia in Oklahoma as a gateway drug to a lifelong obsession with Japan; discussions of favorite passages from the Heian masterpieces Genji and The Pillow Book; the frightening prevalence of orange as today's new chic color for baby gifts; Frankenstein as a sort of baby; babies gold mines; babies as tiny Godzillas. Rivka Gaalchen is the author of the novel Atmospheric Disturbances and the short story collection American Innovations. She graduated with an MD degree from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. She was born in Toronto and now lives in New York City"--Provided by publisher.
