Opis

A resonant, diverse short story collection from the author of the acclaimed novel BLUE SIX. A man struggling with personal tragedy and financial hardship unwillingly mimics his father's breakdown ... a traveler spends two haunting nights in an isolated British farmhouse ... a middle-aged woman with a secret guides a waylaid youth through a burned world towards a towering monolith ... a 40-year-old father exchanges vivid rock n' roll dreams for the sake of his young daughter's future ... a would-be novelist battling writer's block and paranoia wages a one-man war against a sinister flock of Canada geese ... a young woman attends to the weakest of the weak in Ghana, Africa, while trying to manage the pain of her brother's violent death ... In these ten bold stories, Jude Joseph Lovell's debut collection, youthful ambitions crash painfully into adult realities, children struggle to comprehend their parents' failures and successes, and the fragility of our current existence - and faith in the one beyond -are freshly examined.
