Böcker av Roger Hart

Roger Hart writes with savvy, grace, and abiding tenderness about people in love and in trouble. He's an enchanter casting his spell with impeccable sentences and exquisite details. He knows that characters only truly exist when they interact and entangle with other characters. What ingenuity on these pages, what nerve, and what an exhilarating collection of stories Mysteries of the Universe is. And in this universe, future events can influence the present, characters pop in and out of existence, and premonitions upstage reason. I have a feeling that you'll read this collection in one sitting and that you'll start reading the stories slowly, as I did, so they will not end. This book is a revelation. And now I'm going to read it again.- John Dufresne, No Regrets, Coyote
