A Relative Stranger - Stories (Paperback)

"In his quiet cosmic wonderment, Baxter is the equal of John Updike and Anne Tyler at their largest and best."GQ

Without question Charles Baxter, whose ravishing novel The Feast of Love was a National Book Award finalist, is one of our finest contemporary writers. These two books, set in the Michigan landscape that Baxter has made his own, display his unparalleled gift for revealing the unexpected in everyday life. The often-curious connections of relatives and strangers are illuminated in the thirteen exquisite stories of A Relative Stranger. "You can't just get a brother off the street," a character says, but indeed he does.

"Big, moving, rich with life and story."—Lorrie Moore, New York Times Book Review

"We have the satisfaction of having been immersed in a beautifully rendered and fully imagined world."—Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
