When a woman’s daughter waits for what will not come, the balance of a woman’s life is subtly upset by memories of what she left behind; a company picnic is interrupted by a fire happening in the distance, the fire’s smoke accumulating and muddling a drunk salary worker’s thoughts on the perfect partner; somewhere in between fiction and reality, a writer finds himself caught in a search for his ex-girlfriend’s sister and his own love affair with reading and writing...Tuazon makes an assault on ordinary life and storytelling, weaving together rich fiction from strings of seemingly unconnected characters, things, and events. Heralding his predecessors, J.D. Salinger, Raymond Carver, and Haruki Murakami, Tuazon’s prose is meticulous and thoughtful with diction that is colloquial and real, rewarding readers with accessible complexity and catharsis. Each story he writes is meant to excite thought, uncover the surreal in the everyday and the extraordinary in the ordinary.
