The World Is the Home of Love and Death
- The World Is the Home of Love and Death
"The World Is the Home of Love and Death: Stories" is a collection of short stories written by Harold Brodkey and first published posthumously in 1997. Most of the stories were written to be part of his novel "The Runaway Soul" and concern its characters. Four of the eleven stories ("The Bullies", "Spring Fugue", "What I Do for Money", and "Dumbness is Everything") were originally printed in "The New Yorker" and one ("Religion") in "Glimmer Train", from 1986 to 1996. The "Runaway Soul" stories are from the perspective of that novel's protagonist, Wiley Silenowicz. They detail his life from infancy, as a deathly ill child separated from his biological mother; through his childhood, living with step-parents Lila and S.L. and sister Nonie; adolescence, caring for the dying S.L.; and finally into adulthood, where he finds acceptance from the artistic community for his exceptional writing talents.
