Through quirky plots, one-of-kind characters, and more than a few
twists, the stories in "Big Bend" examine gentle-hearted men and
their relationships. From made-in-heaven meetings to troublesome
liaisons, Roorbach's characters experience romance in unexpected,
sometimes disastrous ways.
In "Fog," a teenage boy learns hard lessons about canoes, the Gulf
of Maine, sex, and love. A struggling young artist goes home for
the holidays in search of succor for the stomach--and heart--with
poor results in "Thanksgiving." Other stories recount the
ultimately disastrous reunion of estranged friends, an unemployed
architect's foolish courting with bad company, and a middle-aged
rock star's struggle with the urge to settle down. In the tiitle
story, "Big Bend," a grieving widower, troubled by his own waning
years, is tempted by a seductively attentive birdwatcher no older
than his daughter.
Poignant tales of hauntingly familiar situations, Bill Roorbach's
stories are full of heart, romance, edgy humor, and the frequently
concealed vulnerability of men.
