The Secrets of a Fire King
by Kim Edwards
In each of these elegant and mesmerizing stories, Kim Edwards explores the lives of those who exist on the fringes of society—a fire-eater, an American and his Korean war bride, a juggler and a trapeze artist. Spanning several generations and transporting us to exotic locations in Europe, Asia, and America, this wise and exquisite story collection marks the debut of a gifted new voice in literature.
