"Before emphasizing what I believe, perhaps I should point out what I do not believe, or what I no longer believe: I no longer believe in the magic of the spoken word. It signifies not order but disorder. It does not eliminate chaos, it only concealsit. It no longer carries men's hopes but distorts them. It has ceased to be a vehicle, only to become an obstacle. It does not signify sharing but compromise."
- Elie Weisel,
From the Kingdom of Memory

A warded the Pulitzer Prize for his bestselling Empire Falls — also named the year's best novel by Time — Richard Russo now focuses, in his first book of short fiction, on a fresh and fascinating range of human behavior. With a fluency of tone that will surprise even his devoted readers, he captures both bewildering horror and heartrending tenderness with an absorbing, compassionate authority.
We warm to these newcomers — as to all Russo's characters — almost despite ourselves. A jaded Hollywood moviemaker uncovers a decades-old flame he never knew he'd harbored. A precocious fifth grader puzzles over life, love and baseball as lie watches his parents' marriage dissolve. Another child is forced into a harrowing crosscountry escape whose actual purpose lie learns only after the fact. An elderly couple rediscovers the power. and the misery. of their relationship during a long-awaited retreat to a resort island. And in the title story, a septuagenarian min invades the narrator's college writing workshop with an incredible saga.
