Your Father Sends His Love - Stories

With wit, subtlety, and a heartbreaking sensitivity to the human search for redemption, Stuart Evers’s astonishing stories plumb the minds and hearts of people longing to repair the connections they have lost, or never quite had. His unforgettable characters illuminate familial love in all its forms: a single father goes to jail for avenging a hate crime perpetrated against his gay son; a mother returns home to her husband and children after an affair; an aging grandfather mediates between his quarreling son and his granddaughter; a man comes to New York to heal from the tragic death of his child. As emotionally acute as Lorrie Moore’s Birds of America, as unique and elegant as Jonathan Lethem’s 9 Inches, these stories of love, loss, estrangement, and the many names for family announce the arrival of a bold new literary talent.

Cu inteligenta, subtilitate si o sensibilitate sfasietoare la cautarea umana a izbavirii, povestile uimitoare ale lui Stuart Evers plonjeaza mintea si inima oamenilor care doresc sa repare conexiunile pe care le-au pierdut sau pe care nu le-au avut niciodata. Personajele sale de neuitat lumineaza iubirea familiala in toate formele sale: un tata singur merge la inchisoare pentru ca a razbunat o crima de ura comisa impotriva fiului sau gay; o mama se intoarce acasa la sot si copii dupa o aventura; un bunic imbatranit intermediaza intre fiul sau certat si nepoata sa; un barbat vine la New York pentru a se vindeca de moartea tragica a copilului sau.
