Lessons in Relationship Dyads

Autor Michael Mirolla
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 oct 2015
Mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, friends—they all get into the act in Michael Mirolla’s Lessons in Relationship Dyads. Harsh lessons, sweet lessons, bitter lessons, faux lessons, —these are tales that probe not just the primary relationships all humans “enjoy” but also the relationships involved in the act of storytelling itself. These stories rise from fiction to metafiction without ever forgetting that the central beat, the central electrical pulse, in any tale must come from the heart.

Recenzii

“This collection of stories could have been entitled The Centrifugal Forces of Relationships. Michael Mirolla has stitched a network of characters connected by some fiber of association. Sister to sister, brother to brother, sister to brother, son to father and mother, daughter to father and mother, husband to wife, friend to friend: this intricate fabric of voices is intelligently woven into a complex pattern that will not shrink after repeated readings. Here is a writer who handles language like a master tailor his needle and thread. Lessons in Relationship Dyads is a colorful mosaic of men and women and the fears, desires, hatreds, and loves that darn their lives.”
– Antonio D’Alfonso, award-winning poet, novelist and translator

Lessons In Relationship Dyads exposes the emotional landscape of family, replete with landmines and oases. Together these stories have the power and mystery of poetry. They’re jam-packed with imagery, insight and literary playfulness.”
– Marianne Ackerman, author of the best-selling novel Jump
