Zusammenfassung:In <I>Sucess Stories</I>, an exceptionally varied yet coherent collection, Russell Banks proves himself one of the most astute and forceful writers in America today. <I>Queen for a Day, Success Story, </I> and <I>Adultery</I> trace fortunes of the Painter family in there pursuit of and retreat from the American dream. Banks also explores the ethos of rampant materialism in a group of contemporary moral fables. <I>The Fish</I> is an evocating parable of faith and greed set in a Southeast Asian village, <I>The Gully</I> tells of the profitability of violence and the ironies of upward mobility in a Latin American shantytown, and <I>Chrildren's Story</I> explores the repressed rage that boils beneath the surface of relationships between parents and children and between citizens of the first and third worlds.
