The Fate of Others

Opis
A new collection of short stories examining the extraordinary shades of ordinary life, from the prize-winning fiction writer Richard Bausch ('A master of the short story" - The New York Times Book Review)
In these twelve new stories, Richard Bausch explores the passions of men and women facing unexpected circumstances and the complications of modern life and love. In the novella 'Donnaiolo,' for instance, the parents of a young divorcée who has returned from Italy and a failed marriage must deal with the completely different, and unappealing, person she has become. In 'Isolation,' a happily married woman who has conceived an unexpected passion for another man learns, in lockdown during the pandemic, that this man - into whose life Bausch also gives us a window - has become ill with Covid. In a second novella, 'Broken House,' an elderly Catholic man recalls his part in the destruction of an old farmhouse by altar boys who believed a monk had given them permission to destroy it - while also portraying his lifelong fascination with one of the boys, a gifted artist who has carried a secret for decades about the church they both wanted to serve as priests. And in still another story, 'The Widow's Tale,' a woman whose recently killed husband repeatedly visits her younger sister in dreams attends a séance.
Throughout The Fate of Others, Bausch once again exposes the virtues and flaws of his characters, reminding us, as the best stories do, of ourselves and people we know, and the lives we lead.
