«American Baby» is the collection of twelve short stories by Judy Budnitz, published by Alfaguara in hardcover (344 pages, in Spanish).
The twelve stories move between domestic America and a war-torn Eastern Europe. They feature a mother determined that her child be born on US soil, a mammogram that sparks a comedy of identities, and a wife chosen from a catalogue who awakens mixed feelings. The author turns the everyday into something unsettling.
Work originally published as Nice Big American Baby in 2005. Winner of the California Book Award in the fiction category. Belongs to the Alfaguara Literaturas collection.
A proposal for readers of contemporary fiction and short stories who value an original narrative voice and unsettling atmospheres.
Judy Budnitz is an American writer. She grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, attended Harvard University, was a fellow at Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center, and in 1998 received an MFA in creative writing from New York University.
