In these stories, the author of Jernigan and Preston Falls explores a diverse range of lives—men and women, young and old—grappling with the disappointments of reality versus the promises of the past. As they navigate the complexities of loss and familial relationships, these characters often find solace in art and culture, referencing figures like Hopper and Billie Holiday more readily than their own loved ones. Despite their struggles, they exhibit a fierce self-awareness and a refusal to succumb to despair, even when feeling stagnant. The author, hailed by the "New York Times" as a top novelist, also demonstrates mastery in short fiction. The narratives delve into themes of morality, identity, and the absurdities of life, questioning the very nature of support and existence. Characters confront peculiar dilemmas, such as the significance of a deceased relative's wheelchair or the implications of bringing a pet into their lives. The stories invite readers to reflect on the human experience, blending humor and poignancy as they traverse the mundane and the extraordinary. Through vivid imagery and insightful dialogue, the author captures the essence of contemporary life, revealing the intricate connections that bind us all.
