This is the latest collection of fiction from Kent Nussey. A graduate of Syracuse University and winner of a Stegner Fellowship in Fiction at Stanford, Nussey's style is a unique blend of the gritty realism of Raymond Carver and the lyrical precision of Russell Banks. The seven stories and novella which comprise this collection explore the human capacity for love, desire and destruction in a world where love is the catalyst, creating currents which sweep over the complex and provocative characters.
