Beskrivelse
Joan Frank is a human insight machine. In her quartet of novellas, Where You're All Going, she invites readers into the inner lives of those bewildered by love, grief, and inexplicable affinities. The scenarios are familiar: a couple dealing with an impending birth, a widow hoping to move closer--through song--to a younger man. The stories are wry, stark, and clear, with a kind of Shakespearean fatedness, understood both in prescience and retrospective. Music appears throughout. Indeed, the fiction writer David Huddle described Frank's work as, "Writer-blues, writer-opera, writer-jazz." Eerie, interior, stark, smoky, seasoned, reflective, these novellas mark a significant high point in Frank's long career.
