The Fires
Now Available!
The foreign, surreal and familiar collide...Cheuse approaches his subjects from interesting angles, making these novellas of grief strangely compelling.
—Publishers Weekly
From acclaimed author Alan Cheuse come two novellas of compelling intensity.
In "The Fires," Gina Morgan makes a pilgrimage to Uzbekistan to carry out her husband's final wish only to discover that in this former Soviet republic things are not as they used to be. And in "The Exorcism," Tom Swanson retrieves his angry daughter from her exclusive New England college after her expulsion for setting fire to a grand piano.
Publisher's Weekly has praised Cheuse's "impressive command of many voices," and The New York Times Book Review called his work "richly imagined." In The Fires, Alan Cheuse demonstrates once more the poetry and range of his literary gifts in these finely-honed portraits of hope and change.
