Sweet Nothing: Stories

Autor Richard Lange
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 noi 2015
Winner of the CWA Short Story Dagger.

 Every life is uncertain. Every choice is a danger.

Set on the dark side of Los Angeles, this is a masterful collection of edge-of-your-seat tales: a prison guard must protect an inmate being tried for heinous crimes. A father and son set out to rescue a young couple trapped during a wildfire after they cross the border. An ex-con trying to make good as a security guard stumbles onto a burglary plot. A young father must submit to blackmail to protect the fragile life he's built.

Sweet Nothing is an intense and gripping journey through real lives with big problems, from one of America's great short story writers.

Recenzii

Lange's stories are knockouts. Gritty, humane, and utterly urban.
Lange's morality tales are not that far removed from the classic stories of O. Henry and Guy de Maupassant. With a distinctive style, Lange makes his downbeat tales of the underclass quirkily entertaining.
Richard Lange's stories are a revelation. He writes of the disaffections and bewilderments of ordinary lives with as keen an anger and searing lyricism as anybody out there today. He is Raymond Carver reborn in a hard cityscape. Read him and be amazed.
The kind of book you'll want to savour
A natural-born storyteller
What makes this collection a wonderful read is it's only marginally akin to anything else. Swift, gut wrenching, and sometimes cleverly disarming fiction by a master
The man just keeps getting better. The stories in Sweet Nothing traffic in the vagaries of the human heart, those wants and needs that push us down dark paths. His vision is steely-eyed, yet you sense that Lange loves his characters - even the worst of them - and that compassion sharpens your own emotional investment.

'For all the darkness that runs through the stories, Lange maintains a disarmingly light touch . . . These tales are not far removed from the classic stories of O. Henry and Guy de Maupassant' Kirkus Reviews
'Utterly believable postcards from the edge' Library Journal
