Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules is a 2005 anthology of short stories edited by David Sedaris. Sedaris published this book in order to support 826NYC, a nonprofit writing and tutoring center in Brooklyn, New York. All of his proceeds, after permission expenses, from ''Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules'' will benefit this organization designed to help students ages six to eighteen develop their writing skills through free writing workshops, publishing projects, and one-on-one help with homework and English-language learning. In the book's epilogue, Sarah Vowell describes 826NYC's work. The book's title references a painting by Adriaen van der Werff. ==Contents== * Introduction by David Sedaris * "Oh, Joseph, I'm So Tired" by Richard Yates * "Gryphon" by Charles Baxter * "Interpreter of Maladies" by Jhumpa Lahiri * "The Garden Party" by Katherine Mansfield * "Half A Grapefruit" by Alice Munro * "Applause, Applause" by Jean Thompson * "I Know What I'm Doing About All the Attention I've Been Getting" by Frank Gannon * "Where the Door Is Always Open and the Welcome Mat Is Out" by Patricia Highsmith * "The Best of Betty" by Jincy Willett * "Song of the Shirt, 1941" by Dorothy Parker * "The Girl with the Blackened Eye" by Joyce Carol Oates * "People Like That Are the Only People Here: Canonical Babbling in Peed Onk" by Lorrie Moore * "Revelation" by Flannery O'Connor * "In the Cemetery Where Al Jolson Is Buried" by Amy Hempel * "Cosmopolitan" by Akhil Sharma * "Irish Girl" by Tim Johnston * "Bullet in the Brain" by Tobias Wolff * Epilogue by Sarah Vowell 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
