«Honeydew» is Edith Pearlman's collection of short stories, published in 2015 by John Murray in paperback (277 pages, in English).
Stories that in few pages encompass a whole life. Pearlman focuses on ordinary people, their quirks and clumsiness, and their flashes of compassion. Among these characters are Somali women who have suffered female genital mutilation, a girl with pentachromatic vision, and a Latin teacher bewildered by an invitation to lecture on life and death.
The book was nominated for the National Book Award for Fiction (2015) and the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Fiction (2016).
A work for adult readers interested in the contemporary short story and character-driven fiction; it frequently appears in book clubs.
