LIGHT INTO DARK

Beschreibung

Light into Dark offers up a startling collection of stories ranging from the frivolous "Reductio ad absurdum" to the truly disturbing darkness of "A Modern Proposal." Read "Cooking 101" without laughing; read "Nobody Stopped to Say Goodbye" without weeping; read "Gabriel" without recoiling from a horrifying vision of America. Children, men in authority, women in hopeless situations: no one is spared in the riveting satires that comprise this collection of stories from the pen of Robert Joseph Foley, often compared to Flannery O'Connor and Sherwood Anderson. From the Clarion Review of A Little of This, A Lot of That: "There is an unmistakable lushness, almost an embarrassment of richness in Foley's writing....No lover of piercing, tumultuous literature should miss it."
