Foster Care
About This Novel
After Alice Munro, the representative work of Claire Geoghegan, the new generation of short story queen, was translated by The Seventh Generation. The New Yorker made an exception and published the full text. The latest novel by Claire Geoghegan, the new generation queen of short stories: Where there are secrets, there is shame, and there are no secrets in this house. Dad put me in foster care with the Kingsleys. They gave me a bath and put me into clean and tidy clothes. We fetch water together, do housework, enjoy afternoon bread, and watch the nine o'clock news. I love this home with no secrets. One moonlit night, my neighbor told me that the clothes I had been wearing were Kingsley's son's clothes. He is dead.
