Reviews
"There is talent and insight at work throughout this collection, which won the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction; each tale is marked by a polished, meditative narrative, rich detail and emotional impact."--Publishers Weekly, "Nelson's stories are haunting, powerful, disturbing, truthful. This collection, A Brief History of Male Nudes in America , is tight and intensely focused, full of characters (not just males) who are literally and figuratively "nude." . . . These are introspective stories, filled with characters whose lives are deeply felt, agonizingly lived. They are not meant to soothe or merely entertain. They reach in and grab your guts with a startling truth: 'what at first seems to be someone else's story can suddenly twist and become your own.'"-- Studies in Short Fiction, "Nelson's stories are haunting, powerful, disturbing, truthful.

In the title story, 'A Brief History of Male Nudes in America,' a young girl is subjected to watching a steady stream of her mother's lovers parade through their house. In 'Frog Boy,' a boy approaching puberty realizes that he is in love with his father's girlfriend. 'Dixon' is a tribute to the way a sister remembers her brother after his accidental death. 'Chocolate' evokes the pain of a deprived childhood with no money for birthday presents. In 'The Uses of Memory,' a mother and daughter engage in conflict over the fate of Franklin, their husband and father, who is comatose. The stories all deal with the pain and pleasure of relationships and the ways in which family members knowingly and unknowingly inflict pain on one another."-- Library Journal, "There is talent and insight at work throughout this collection, which won the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction; each tale is marked by a polished, meditative narrative, rich detail and emotional impact."-- Publishers Weekly, "This fine collection of 15 stories depicts a broad range of emotion within modern families.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
