Sweet Nothing: Stories
Autor Richard Langeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 noi 2015
In
these
gripping
and
intense
stories,
Richard
Lange
returns
to
the
form
that
first
landed
him
on
the
literary
map.
These are edge-of-your-seat tales: A prison guard must protect an inmate being tried for heinous crimes. A father and son set out to rescue a young couple trapped during a wildfire. An ex-con trying to make good as a security guard stumbles onto a burglary plot. A young father must submit to blackmail to protect the fragile life he's built.
Sweet Nothingis an unforgettable collection that shows once again why T.C. Boyle wrote, "Richard Lange's stories combine the truth-telling and immediacy of Raymond Carver with the casual hip of Denis Johnson. There is a potent artistic sensibility at work here."

Praise
for
SWEET
NOTHING:
"Richard Lange's stories are a revelation. He writes of the disaffections and bewilderments of ordinary lives with as keen an anger and searing lyricism as anybody out there today. He is Raymond Carver reborn in a hard cityscape. Read him and be amazed."—T.C. Boyle,author of San Miguel
"For me the best stories are rabbit holes. You read the first lines, maybe a page, and you're down there. Somewhere else. Another life. Richard Lange is one cwazy wabbit."—James Sallis,author of Drive
"I've been reading Richard Lange's work sinceDead Boysblew my doors off years ago, and goddamn, the man just keeps getting better. The stories inSweet Nothingtraffic in the vagaries of the human heart, those wants and needs that push us down dark paths. His vision is steely-eyed, yet you sense that Lange loves his characters-even the worst of them-and that compassion sharpens your own emotional investment in this powerful brace of stories."—Craig Davidson,author of Cataract City
"What
makes
this
collection
a
wonderful
read
is
that
it's
only
marginally
akin
to
anything
else.
Swift,
gut-wrenching,
and
sometimes
cleverly
disarming
fiction
by
a
master."
