Description
Stories by Barry Hannah Atlantic Monthly Press ($22.00, ISBN: 0871136686, 10/1996) Barry Hannah writes like a barroom raconteur talks: unevenly, wildly, with a superabundance of vivid images, sometimes improbable plotlines, and a wicked, comic appreciation for human failings. In this collection he takes on middle-aged heroes who've lived through bad marriages and are now suffering the ravages of alcohol and sexual craving―in other words, men not unlike Hannah himself. Hannah's turns of phrase can shoot off the page to stab the reader in the heart; even the weakest stories in this book contain a great line or two.
