Publisher's Note As a writer, Larry Brown pulls no punches. The stories in Facing the Music confront head-on the dark side of the human condition. They are about men and women dealing with hard breaks--physical, mental, spiritual. Brown is an author who is, as the Los Angeles Times noted, "interested in how people survive loss".
Industry Reviews "These 10 stories are clearly and cleanly written, and brutal in their realism....[L]ove does save this collection of finely written stories, which, even at their darkest, claim as theirs the will to hope." St. Petersburg Times - Elizabeth Inness-Brown
"Ten raw and strictly 100-proof stories make up one of the more exciting debuts of recent memory." Trilling
