The People Who Watched Her Pass By
Author: Scott Bradfield
“Bradfield is one of my favorite living writers.”Jonathan Lethem “Scott Bradfield has not simply staked out new literary terrain . . . he has mapped and colonized an entire new planet.”Michael Chabon “A master chronicler of the absurdity, emptiness, and beauty that riddle modern life.”Caroline Hsu, The Wash...  more » In his fifth novel, Scott Bradfield delivers an arresting and unsentimental childhood voice. Salome Jensen is three years old when she is taken from her home by the man who fixes the hot water heater. As Sal drifts through Laundromats and people’s homes, she develops a perspective of the world and an understanding of its people more meaningful than the most erudite observer could muster. Sal is never a victim or abused, she’s simply a child providing a humorous and fresh take on society. The People Who Watched Her Pass By is often hilarious as well as startling, and it is a poignant new contribution to the body of literature of a respected prose craftsman. Scott Bradfield has published stories, reviews, and essays in places as varied as Bookforum, Poetry, Triquarterly, Fence, Fantasy and Science Fiction, The Pushcart Prize Collection, The Vintage Book of Contemporary American Short Stories, The Times Literary Supplement, The New York Times Book Review, Black Clock, The New York Ghost, and Neue Rundschauer. His books include The History of Luminous Motion, What's Wrong with America, Animal Planet, Greetings From Earth, and most recently Good Girl Wants it Bad and Hot Animal Love: Tales of Modern Romance.
