More about the book
Thom Jones's stories strike with a profound and devastating impact. His vision of the human condition is almost brutal, for in the world of Jones's fiction there is such a preponderance of darkness that light itself becomes a form of torture. Yet each story in this collection is infused with the surprising, perhaps even ennobling grace of the spirit that ought to collapse, but cannot.
