Assorted Fire Events by David Means
Wonderfully moving, these are important, generous stories; compassionate expressions of what can destroy, bewilder and console.One of the best American collections of the last ten years…This is food for the hungry’ Jonathan Franzen
‘His writing blazes with originality and self-assuredness…A striking new voice in American fiction.’ The Times
‘Worlds collide and spring apart…this sort of thing happens all the time in life, yet I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone bother to express it so devastatingly in literature.’ Guardian
‘There are stories in this collection that expose the pain of growing up, or the lies within marriage, as well as anything written by anyone, anywhere…The finest collection of stories to appear in years.’ Scotsman
‘Means presents the perfect detail at the perfect time. He has a tender, but revealing grasp of human frailty and – that rare thing – a gift for finding and conveying dignity to his characters.’ A.L. Kennedy
David Means was born and raised in Michigan. He now lives in Nyack, New York with his wife and twins.
