| Publisher Description: Precise, moving writing--a powerful and compelling collection.--Joseph Hurka, author of Fields of Light The unadorned sentences often reach a conclusion whose truth makes you catch your breath. This unpretentious book is the work of a master.--Edith Pearlman, National Book Award finalist One of the most compelling stories published by the Yale Review]. . . . A thoughtful, reflective, sensitive, and graceful work.--Kai Erikson, former editor, The Yale Review These are stories of unexpected encounters far from home, told with a vivid sense of place. A white man with more wives than money becomes Africa's least-competent thief, two Americans contemplate love's costs and possibilities in Mexico's mountains, a seasick missionary bumps into God on the equator. George Rosen's characters seek, and sometimes find, a reality in which everywhere, there is something remarkable. |
