The feel-good place to buy books
Apparition & Late Fictions by Thomas Lynch
These stories are linked by the gone and not forgotten: former spouses, dead parents, missing children. Lynch creates a world in which people searching for connection and old comforts find them both near at hand and oddly out of reach.
"It may be difficult to discern which has had a greater influence on Lynch, his Irish ethnicity or his Michigan upbringing, but the result is a lyricism coupled with a locale of abundant natural beauty and an attachment to the offbeat characters who are its inhabitants" -- Robert Birnbaum - The Morning News
"[Lynch] writes with a poetic precision and beauty capable of inspiring sheer joy." -- Christopher Walton - Detroit Free Press
"Meditative and politely laconic, this is a terrific collection from a writer who thinks and feels and tells stories with an engagingly distilled candor and assurance all his own." -- Eileen Battersby - Irish Times
"A powerful, meditative collection. The title story is a masterpiece." -- Library Journal
