あらすじ・解説

In the uproarious sequel to Life Among the Savages, the author of The Haunting of Hill House confronts the most vexing demons yet: her children.

In the long out-of-print sequel to Life Among the Savages, Jackson’s four children have grown from savages into full-fledged demons. After bursting the seams of their first house, Jackson’s clan moves into a larger home. Of course, the chaos simply moves with them. A confrontation with the IRS, Little League, trumpet lessons, and enough clutter to bury her alive - Jackson spins them all into an indelible reminder that every bit as thrilling as a murderous family in a haunted house is a happy family in a new home.

批評家のレビュー

“Read today, [Shirley Jackson’s] pieces feel surprisingly modern - mainly because Jackson refuses to sentimentalize or idealize motherhood.... [Jackson’s] household stories take advantage of the same techniques she developed as a fiction writer: the gradual buildup of carefully chosen detail, the ironic understatement, the repetition of key phrases and the unerring instinct for just where to begin and end a story.” (Ruth Franklin, New York Times Book Review)

"Charming...you’ll see every parenting stance you’ve ever adopted, every parent-story trope you’ve ever told or heard, expressed more perfectly than you ever could have.... Reading Shirley Jackson, one of the great memoirists of family life, makes sharp those feelings once more - while reminding us that, yes, thank god and curse time, we too will one day look back on them across a gulf of years.” (Dan Kois, Slate)

"When it comes to just sheer honest, wry, frustrated, finding-ways-to-appreciate-it writing about family life, we all sit at Shirley Jackson’s feet." (New York Times Motherlode)
