| Publisher Description: Fiction. Fred Misurella's collection of stories, Lies to Live By, tells the complex, and sometimes secret truth about what it is to be alive in these complicated times. THe eight stories in this collection are deep in their understanding and widely varied in their subject matter. Misurella writes in the clearest, precise prose, and has as his special strength the joining of shining intelligence with deep emotion. LIES TO LIVE BY deserves a wide readership and serious attention, -Kent Haruf. All of Misurells's finely-drawn characters are crossing a bridge, preparing to pass through the doors of a new time zone. Their journey from old-world neighborhoods into more modern times makes for delightful reading -Rita Ciresi |
