Matters of Life & Death
Cape (2006)
Beginning with the sudden, nauseating terror of a family caught up in an explosion of shocking sectarian violence and ending with the white-out of an Iowa blizzard and a different kind of fear, Matters of Life & Death is a book about bonds and connections, made and broken, secret and known.
Vivid, beautifully controlled and written with effortless skill and empathy, these stories are object lessons in the art of short fiction. |
