The 14 stories in this collection display the often quiet,
inconspicuous way in which terrible truths and experiences are
intimated: the death of a sailboarder makes a widower see deeper
into love and loss; a young poet visits his former teacher only to
discover he is literally not the person he used to be; a
middle-aged man glimpses the terrible humdrum of his third marriage
as his son embarks on a new chapter in his life. Conveyed without
grandeur or pathos, the revelations in these minimalist stories
demonstrate clearly and effectively Fruelund's gift of subtlety and
nuance; like scenes from life, characters' dramas are played out in
brief but brilliant flashes. Ranging across the wide arc of human
experience, from the comic to the tragic, each piece explores the
complex emotions of the human heart.
