Sobre IBD

This superb new collection of stories confirms Tilghman’s genius in that edgy territory of family marriage breakdown widowhood parents children inheritance and escape all against a backdrop of richly evoked landscapes from Virginia to Montana. Like Richard Ford Tilghman unpeals the corner of the male psyche to expose with empathy and yet a touch of ironic distance the vulnerabilities which make men run or lie - or even come back for good.Here are ordinary people - men for the most part - running from their loves looking for new hope in a ’bushel of crabs’ a cattle ranch a one-night stand or a whisky glass. But here too in these sharply focused and beautifully judged stories are moments of redemption moments when they stop running and find love or just a glimmer of self-knowledge.
