I read the connected stories in one sitting and have already started on the sequel Anna in the Afterlife. Perhaps the stories told by a grumpy, smart, disappointed, often mean-spirited, culturally alive woman as she passes from her 70s into her 90s will only appeal to a small demographic. Anna got me right in the solar plexus. The details of her life were her own story and not mine but her impossible attempts over and over and over again to try and make the world welcoming, appreciative, softer -- that Sisyphean struggle is my struggle, too. She can't abide the lies that are everywhere and on everyone's lips, the greed, the… Read More

Kelman's characters are working class people--mostly men, mostly inarticulate--whose dead-end existences are relentlessly dark. Fortunately, the reader, if not the characters, is rescued from this lunarscape vision by bracing doses of Kelman's black humor and impressive prose.

As New. NOT a Remainder. NOT a Book-Club Edition. NOT an Ex-Library copy. 8vo. 278pp. Hardback with DJ. It's a brave writer who uses a phrase from the great sentimental ballad "Danny Boy" as a title. Lordan (And Both Shall Row, 1998) assiduously avoids the bathos implied in that title, opting instead for a meticulously drawn portrait of Mary Curtin and Lyle Sullivan's long marriage--its "pettiness and comfortable meanesses and easy generosities." Through flashbacks and shifting narrative perspectives, we see a young, desperately lonely Lyle, after three dates and one brief kiss, fly off to Ireland to ask for Mary's hand in marriage. Some 30 years and two sons later, having retired in Ireland, the couple has lapsed into a comfortable routine, trying to avoid well-worn… Read More

Virtually 'As New'. NOT a Remainder. NOT a Book-Club Edition. NOT an Ex-Library copy. 8vo. 211pp. (California Fiction Series). Trade Paperback. Wry ontological insights and wonderfully odd yet evocative metaphors fill this witty, melancholic first novel about misfits adrift in Los Angeles and the rest of America. Unhappy in his native St. Louis, disaffected paraplegic Frank Eastman returns to L.A., where six months before, working as a tree-cutter for the phone company, he suffered the fall from atop a rat-infested palm tree that caused his paralysis. Fed up with the condescension of his well-meaning sister and full of bitter insights into the empty lifestyles of "enabled" people, Frank moves into the seedy Tradewinds motel, in the shadow of Disney's magic kingdom.

The San Andreas Fault is both a real and a metaphorical player in this novel of northern California in the early 70s. Set on a ranch near Monterey Bay, it explores relationships in a family jarred by the return of a son from Vietnam, almost whole but shaken and confused. His return coincides with a series of bizarre killings that panic the community--a reminder that in the legendary land of promise abundant possibilities and agents of destruction live side by side.
