Long-Listed for Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award: “Intelligent,
even brilliant, but never merely cerebral, these stories pulse with
life. If you have ever wondered how life would appear without the
dodges and filters we bring to our interactions, if you have ever
yearned for an understanding broad and deep enough to bless and
celebrate people’s misaimed, tangled, confused yet determined attempts
to love, then read these vivid, luminous, heartbreaking stories.” Richard Hoffman, author of Half the House and Gold Star Road
