What can we know of what’s most profound? In these brief and lyrical fictions, Rob Davidson offers us glimpses of what remains out of reach. He writes, “There is inside of us dark music, the melody of expectation.” Brilliant, his dark music—whether his words fulfill or expand or thwart our desires. His wise language assures us: “Disappointment has its benefits, nudging us toward joy.” Tiny marvels, these flashes. Beautiful mystery, this book.
