'REVIEWS
"The art of the American short story is alive and well in Richard Chiappone's hands. Like Raymond Carver and Richard Ford, he writes with tough-minded concern for the real lives of real people--fathers and sons, husbands and wives--literary representatives of the genuine life of our times, which rarely pokes through the trivial glitz of tv, movies and what is called "the news." Chiappone writes with grit and grace about how human beings work around disappointment, failure and loss to find enough redemption to keep them going. Chiappone is a masterful story-teller."
--Christopher Camuto, author of Hunting from Home and Another Country: Journeying Toward the Cherokee Mountains.
"A brilliant father-son story, luminous from many angles."
--Gray's Sporting Journal
"A favorite of mine . . . is Richard Chiappone's 'The Chubs'--about a young man trying to reconcile his father's expectations with his own unformed hopes."
--The California Fly Fisher
