Beschreibung

Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles.
Lips the colour of blood, the sun an unprecedented orange, train wheels that sound like 'guilt, and guilt, and guilt': these are just some of the things Mary Ventura begins to notice on her journey to the ninth kingdom.
'But what is the ninth kingdom?' she asks a kind-seeming lady in her carriage. 'It is the kingdom of the frozen will,' comes the reply. 'There is no going back.'
Sylvia Plath's strange, dark tale of independence over infanticide, written not long after she herself left home, grapples with mortality in motion.
Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.

Mary Ventura was supposed to be a quick intervention, a clean fun, maybe a first try with that big name Sylvia Plath. And the writing is not bad at ill. It creates impressive pictures, beautiful scenes. But then again I am simply not sure wat the artist wanted to tell me. Yes I can see that ultimate picture, some readers draw; for me it somehow seems more plausible that Ms Plath points insistent into the direction that only we ourselves are responsible for the decisions we make and the roads we take. Becoming aware that we have to make choices is the first step of al. Without that there can't be hope. In general, I really liked the writing itself, I loved the figures. But the story behind was a little too thin and vague for my taste.
