Reviews
This is a very sad book of related short stories. A story of one man's youth and the struggles he goes through to find and create a life of his own. Each story is related a bit to the others and you get the full picture of this family and their struggles with their grief, shame, sexuality, and anger. My favorite story was The Universe, Concealed. These stories are definitely not of the uplifting nature.
