Description



About the Book



As a writer, Larry Brown pulls no punches. The stories in Facing the Music confront head-on the dark side of the human condition. They are about men and women dealing with hard breaks--physical, mental, spiritual. Brown is an author who is, as the Los Angeles Times noted, "interested in how people survive loss".



Book Synopsis



Facing the Music, Larry Brown's first book, was originally published in 1988 to wide critical acclaim. As the St. Petersburg Times review pointed out, the central theme of these ten stories "is the ageless collision of man with woman, woman with man--with the frequent introduction of that other familiar couple, drinking and violence. Most often ugly, love is nevertheless graceful, however desperate the situation."

There's some glare from the brutally bright light Larry Brown shines on his subjects. This is the work of a writer unafraid to gaze directly at characters challenged by crisis and pathology. But for readers who are willing to look, unblinkingly, along with the writer, there are unusual rewards.
