Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
In prose so perfectly pitched as to suggest some celestial harmony, he writes about every kind of domestic discord: unruly or distant children, alienated spouses, domestic abuse, loneliness, death, divorce. In his masterful title novella, a freshly married teenaged couple are visited by an unusual pair of inmates from a nearby insane asylumâand find out exactly how mismatched they really are.
With exquisite tenderness, Watson relates the brutality of both nature and human nature. Thereâs no question about it. Brad Watson writes so wellâwith such an all-seeing, six-dimensional view of human hopes, inadequacies, and rare graceâthat he must be an extraterrestrial.
Finalist for the 2011 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction: "Watson's talent is singular, truly awesome; [his stories] are infused with an uncanny beauty."âA. M. Homes
