| An old cowboy stares into the eyes of his dead wife and remembers a time before he knew her, a photojournalist and his terminally ill wife enjoy one last night together under the hunter's moon, a family wait for their son to return home from the civil war in Bosnia, and a dying man takes violent revenge against the people who ruined his life. Crisp, heartfelt and clear-eyed, Katakis's debut short story collection bears comparison with those of the great American writers and demonstrates the enduring power of love in even the cruellest of environments. |
