Sinopsis

Facing the Music, Larry Brown&rsquo,s first book, was originally published in 1988 to wide critical acclaim. As theáSt. Petersburg Timesáreview pointed out, the central theme of these ten stories &ldquo,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.&rdquo,There&rsquo,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.
