Widow: Stories (Bellevue Literary Press)
A new book of stories from the author of A Proper Knowledge.
Widow bravely explores the physiology of grief through a masterful interweaving of tender insight and unflinching detail. Among these stories of loss are interwoven other tales, creating a bridge to the pleasures and follies of life before the catastrophe. Throughout, Latiolais captures the longing, humor, and strange grace that accompanies life’s most transformative chapters.
“Bracing, exposed, ruthlessly mercurial . . . The writing thrums with aggression and a lush, rooted sensuality . . . the rewards here are enormous.” —The New York Times Book Review
Michelle Latiolais, the author of two previous novels, is an English professor and co-director of the Programs in Writing at the University of California at Irvine.
