Blind Water Pass

Anna Metcalfe's stories are about communication and miscommunication - between characters and across cultures. Whether about a blithely entitled English teacher in a poor Beijing school, an immigrant female taxi driver in Paris, or a young Chinese girl spouting made-up Confucian phrases to please tourists, the stories examine the assumptions we make about other people, and about ourselves.

Blind Water Pass is an auspicious debut by a superb young writer.

Povestile Anna Metcalfe sunt despre comunicare si comunicare gresita - intre personaje si intre culturi. Fie ca este vorba despre o profesoara de engleza cu drepturi bune intr-o scoala saraca din Beijing, despre o sofer de taxi imigranta la Paris sau despre o tanara chineza care scoate fraze confucianiste inventate pentru a multumi turistii, povestile examineaza presupunerile pe care le facem despre alti oameni si despre noi insine .Blind Water Pass este un debut de bun augur al unui tanar scriitor superb.
