Going Anywhere
Autor David Armstrongen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 noi 2014
"Controlled, poetically laconic prose . . . a perfect distillation of the ways that grief seems unfathomably large and mysterious."—Lev Raphael, author of Rosedale in Love
"Armstrong's characters are . . . elevated to the heights of tragedy through careful attention to detail and voice."—Las Vegas Weekly
These stories occupy the space between dark realities and the fantastic leaps of faith people make to survive. Connecting them is the journey: people searching for solace, insight, purpose; gathering up their lives into discernible pieces of fact and conviction, hoping to get it right.

Recenzii
"The many and varied characters in this compilation bring important themes to life.... It isn’t just the characters that keep the pages turning in this collection; the style and slow confidence with which Armstrong delivers his plot twists is exceptional.... Armstrong has a knack for rendering the mundane beautiful through lyrical language.... the sensation in reading this book is that one could be “going anywhere.”” —Rain Taxi Review of Books
