This is the work of a writer unafraid to gaze directly at characters challenged by crisis and pathology. But for readers who are willing to look, unblinkingly, along with the writer, there are unusual rewards.
"Ten stories confront the dark side of human life as characters are challenged by crisis and pathology, including how a couple faces the disfigurement of cancer in the bedroom, the rationalizations of a wife beater, or the mind of a teenage killer."
"Ensemble de nouvelles qui décrivent des personnes usées par la vie, proches de la rupture, qui tentent vainement de tenir et de faire semblant. Ces personnages ordinaires révèlent leurs douleurs intimes et l'échec de leur vie, antithèse des destins fabuleux des héros américains."
