Deep Breaths of the Inanimate – November 2023

Only Six Stars at Night - Posted on October 16, 2023

“Susan Lloy’s Nothing Comes Back offers an astute and poignant look at the far side of middle age through eighteen stories that ring and purr with the astonishing music. From the choppy shores of the Mediterranean to the windswept sandstones of southern Utah, Lloy’s characters are pilgrims through time as much as space, reflecting on their journeys while they scout novel territory. Like Virginia Woolf and Alice Munro before her, Lloy has a gift for capturing the passage of years with fleet-fingered certainty, creating a panoramic tapestry with mere brush strokes. Nothing Comes Back is a deeply captivating collection that reveals a major literary talent at her finest hour. These are moving, majestic, must-read stories.” — Jacob M. Appel, author of Millard Salter’s Last Day
