A Day, a Night, Another Day, Summer by Christine Schutt
Christine Schutt's indomitable, original talent is once again on full display in each of these deeply informed, intensely realized stories. Many of the narratives take place in a space as small as a house, where the doors are many and what is hidden behind these thin domestic barriers tends towards violence, abusive sex, and mental anguish.
""Unparalleled etchings of loss and foreboding"" --Kirkus Reviews
|""No one has been writing more sublimely about heartwreck than Christine
Schutt. Her new collection is terrifyingly precise, profound, and perfect.""
-Gary Lutz, author of Stories in the Worst Way and I Looked Alive
|""This new book of stories confirms Christine Schutt's brilliant reputation as an important American writer. Like Emily Dickinson, and with the same secretive precision, Schutt unfolds a deeply intimate vision, revealing to us, as only short stories can, bare-boned glimpses into the most private of realms. Each story cuts sharply into an existence, holds it before us, and then departs. We are left with a sense of having witnessed something deeply private and exact--the truth of family, of the tormented anguish of familial love. These are daring, radical stories. Together they form a quietly radical document, as sharp, stunning and tragic as anything I've read in years."" --David Means, author of The Secret Goldfish
