Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The common theme that runs through this new collection of short stories from Donald Hays, is people at moments of crisis in their lives. They run from the title story, where the main character has come to see himself as a failure as a painter and as a husband, and attempts to come to terms with himself by moving in with his dying father, a tough, sometimes brutally honest man, to the comic story Private Dance, where a high school football coach, who never understands what is happening to him, loses his wife and his job, punches a policeman, and gets arrested in a sleazy strip club in the course of a day and two raucous nights. Each story touches upon what it is to be human and the choices and decisions that we all must face again and again.
