«Fresh Complaint» is Jeffrey Eugenides's collection of short stories, published by Harper Collins in paperback (304 pages, in English).
It brings together two unpublished stories and characters in personal and social crisis: a failed poet becomes an embezzler during the housing bubble, a harpsichordist sees her artistic dreams cut short by family life, and a university student has a revealing encounter on a train. The whole distils humour and irony with compassion.
The book was originally published in 2017 as Fresh Complaint: Stories; this edition is from 2018. The collection was nominated for the Andrew Carnegie Medal in the fiction category.
For readers of literary fiction and contemporary short stories, with an interest in American short narrative and reading groups.
