Fiction. Floyd Skloot's new book gathers sixteen stories that
combine unsentimental comedy and forceful emotion. As in his
award-winning poetry and memoirs, Skloot's fiction shows how
individual people, families, and communities face the starkest of
challenges, including bodily maladies, the most harrowing of which
often come with aging. Yet alienating experience can lead to
moments of powerful intimacy, as dark times are lit by sudden
incursions of love and hope, and a yearning for community summons
poignant expression. "This is a brave, luminous, searingly
unswerving vision of the life that exists so powerfully in those
persistent dreams we have for ourselves, good and bad--those secret
passions that seem strong enough to survive us, and that endure all
the way out to the end of our lives.... These stories are not only
brilliant, they are necessary"--Richard Bausch.
