This collection of three short stories, winner of the Black River Chapbook Competition, is about humans trying to understand themselves and each other, specifically across cultural borders, against the backdrop of war, and within the confines of marriage.

Praise

“D.E. Fredd writes in the tradition of John Cheever, exploring the territory of the human heart with a keen eye and a wickedly precise pen. His characters know their weaknesses and their strengths, and their voices are raw, moving, and absolutely real. His stories are finely crafted windows on the wa y we love and hurt one another, told with humor and delicate grace.”

-Laurie Seidler

Whether writing about a gangster or a prison camp guard, D.E. Fredd makes strong use of voice. Vividly-drawn characters inhabit his challenging and insightful stories, which plumb the depths-and the darkness-of human experience.

-Alyce Wilson
