Reviews
"Stunning... Bausch's latest book... puts the reader in mind of Flannery O'Connor's ability to open out a story into dangerous, unknown territory. And like O'Connor, Bausch is able to pull a story back from melodrama, no matter how sudden or dramatic the turn of events...That Bausch can delivery such convincing humanity, no matter the initial angle of ascent, is a testament to his powers of technique and observation." -- Dominic Smith, The New York Times Book Review "Masterly...This is a sublime collection." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "This superb collection of short fiction by Bausch offers readers a disturbing portrait of contemporary America...Plumbing a nation that has lost its sense of purpose and direction, these stories chart the emotional and psychological dmage that is produced by experiences under these conditions. Enthusiastically recommended for fans of literary fiction." --Library Journal (starred review) "Resonant and entertaining...Populated with believable characters that you care about...Bausch's stories portray marriage, love and infidelity with the same insight, empathy and wit that he has for the lives of servicemen...Bausch deftly imbues his characters with enough depth to make a commonplace story something unique and emotionally thrilling...His writing is uncluttered, and every word feels perfect. The stories here aren't just entertaining; they demonstrate just how exciting and resonant realistic short fiction can be." --Houston Chronicle "[Bausch] makes piercing miniaturizations. In his spare prose, Bausch leaves as much to the imagination as he puts in. He also abides by Irish short story writer Frank O'Connor's dictum of occasionally having the end of a story come down like a kite out of wind - with a bang of surprise...Every one of these stories is a treasure...Read "Living in the Weather of the World" and see if it doesn't give you some new ideas of how to deal with misery and love." -- The Buffalo News

Synopsis
In stories by turns suspenseful, comic, subtle, and profound, Richard Bausch probes the fault lines of daily life. At three in the morning a man tries not to wake his sleeping wife while fielding calls from his suicidal mistress. A successful real estate agent with two grown sons tries an online dating service on a whim and is surprised by the complicated result. And after being held up at gunpoint, a police officer commiserates with his assailant about their unhappy marriages. Wherever he casts his gaze, Bausch illuminates shades of human experience that defy understanding.
