Description
One Small Saga, a deeply personal and haunting autobiographical novel by Bobbie Louise Hawkins, is now back in print. This edition includes a new introduction by Laird Hunt and Eleni Sikelianos, as well as an interview with the author about her writing process.
This novella follows the narrator's journey as she navigates the complexities of marriage and relationships, struggling to reconcile her idealized vision of life with the harsh realities of everyday existence. With humor, compassion, and a touch of sarcasm, Hawkins crafts characters who must adapt to the demands of others and circumstances.
Also included is Hawkins' long-out-of-print short story "En Route", which tells the tale of a young woman's travels to Denmark, London, Jamaica, and British Honduras. This collection offers a unique glimpse into the author's life and writing style, making it a compelling read for fans of travel narratives and personal essays.
