SUMMARY:Edie Meidav discussing Kingdom of the Young
DESCRIPTION:Edie Meidav in Conversation with Larry Bensky discussing Meidav’s story collection\, Kingdom of the Young. \n\n\n\n\n“Ambitious\, original\, deliciously philosophical. Kingdom of the Young invites comparison to the cronicas of Clarice Lispector and the fabulas of Italo Calvino.”–Carolyn Cooke\, author of Daughters of the Revolution \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe dynamic characters in Kingdom of the Young are searching: for adventure\, work\, love\, absolution\, better chances elsewhere. In a symphonic stream of consciousness\, a fanatical child army loses faith in its commander as he ages unforgivably into his thirties. A woman possessed with wanderlust and a small inheritance seeks love among the cave-dwelling Roma in Granada. Traumatized war veterans run local rackets; smarmy bureaucrats rise through the ranks of repressive regimes; civilians attempt to escape the stranglehold of life under dictatorships. From the honeycombed caves outside the Alhambra to the streets of Havana\, from hospital wards to quinceanera parties\, these stories–along with the collection’s illuminating nonfiction coda–testify to Meidav’s vast imaginative range. \nEdie Meidav is the author of three novels–The Far Field\, Crawl Space\, and Lola\, California. Her honors include a Lannan Literary Award\, the Kafka Award for Best Novel by an American Woman\, the Bard Fiction Prize\, a Whiting Award\, and a Howard Fellowship. She teaches at the UMass MFA program and lives in Amherst. \nLarry Bensky is a Berkeley journalist\, radio host\, political activist\, educator\, and Proust scholar
