Only the Little Bone

David Huddle is an author for whom this company holds particular affection & whose first three books were issued under our imprint. These are his first two titles, both collections of short stories. They are elegant in the spareness & precision of their language & the subtlety of their approach, & commendable for their total absence of the typical existential dread, clever trivia, & suburban obsession found in so much of today's fiction. Huddle, to put it simply, knows how to tell a good story. Whether the stories are close to the Virginia of his youth, or explore the territory & politics of love, his voice -- full, authentic, & full of gentle humor -- illuminates these pages with his great delight in life & his full conviction in the necessity, & value, of love.David Huddle is the author of 'Only the Little Bone' with ISBN 9780879237745 and ISBN 0879237740.
