The parents and children in these stories are driven to speak by the hungers of love and the fear of time. Tender, funny, sometimes heartbreaking, Busch captures our need to connect, the failures that make us human, and the triumphs that make us splendid.In "Heads" a mother is haunted by her own past when her daughter is accused of a murder. In "Malvasia" a daughter gives her bereaved father the gift to go on living. A father suffers over his inability to save his grown son from heartbreak in "Passengers." "The Joy of Cooking" is a tour de force about a failed marriage. Called a "first-rate American storyteller," and a "master craftsman" by the New York Times Book Review, Busch delivers a moving portrait of the American family.

So which story did I like most? All of them. But okay, I loved "Domicile," because in its character of wall-building David I recognized shades of a young Benjamin Busch, the author's son, who was also the model for an even younger protagonist in an earlier Busch novel, SOMETIMES I LIVE IN THE COUNTRY. (And Benjamin Busch told his own story in his 2012 memoir, DUST TO DUST.) Family things turned into art, something Frederick Busch was always especially adept at. And I really loved that final novella, with its nod to Philip Roth in the steamy relationship of Willy and Tony, as well as the intricate weaving of anti-Semitism, the Vietnam war, the office politics of academia and dysfunctional family drama and deceits. It is, quite simply, a triumph of storytelling. In a Q&A included in the Ballantine edition, Busch says it "took me thirty years to get right."
Enough said. I love Fred Busch's fiction, and this is a beautifully written bunch of stories. Very highly recommended.
