In this powerful and virtuosic collection of interlocking stories, a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist takes the form to new heights.In his orchestral and moving new book, Peter Orner, a writer who doesnt simply bring his characters to life, he gives them souls (New York Times Book Review), chronicles people whose lives are at inflection points. In forty-four compressed gems, he grips us with a series of defining moments. Whether its a first date that turns into a late-night road trip to a s ance in an abandoned airplane hangar, or a familys memories of the painful mystery surrounding a forgotten uncles demise, Orner reveals how our fleeting decisions between kindness and abandonment chase us across time. These stories are anchored by a poignant novella that delivers not only the joys and travails of a forty-year marriage, but an entire era in small-town New England. Bristling with the crackling energy of life itself, Maggie Brown & Others marks the most sustained achievement to date for a master of his form (New York Times).
