Graceful Lies

From the author of FIELDS OF LIGHT: A SON REMEMBERS HIS HEROIC FATHER (winner of the Pushcart Editors' Book Award), and the novel BEFORE, comes this collection of twelve tales. "Like Chekhov or Carver," the poet Matt W. Miller has written, of Hurka's novel BEFORE, "Hurka is able to make us feel empathy for these people by showing that these people are us." The stories of GRACEFUL LIES offer us characters who search for certainty, and who sometimes, in moments of illumination, find salvation.
