The Resource Krauss, Nicole

Description: Novelist Nicole Krauss writes sophisticated and thoughtful psychological fiction. Her books frequently depict psychologically traumatized characters who rediscover forgotten memories and haunting pasts. The intricate plots often feature stories-within-stories, abrupt shifts in perspective, and unusual links between characters, such as the central writing desk that joins the narratives in her novel Great House. Krauss' prose is elegant, lyrical, and vividly descriptive -- readers may want to pore over each sentence, especially since the stories are leisurely paced and driven more by atmosphere, imagery, and emotional intensity than by action. Start with: The history of love
