At times reminiscent of John Cheever, The Art of Fugue is the very stuff of reality: mundane and extraordinary allat once. With an eye for detail and a knack for dialogue, Clattenburg celebrates the minutiaeof modern American life-oversized parking lots, Led Zeppelin, the elliptical machine-to create characters who feel like friends and lovers we have known. Throughout this collection, often breathless in nature, small moments make an unknowingly large impact, forcing us to reconsider past relationships we may have tried (and failed) to put to rest.
-Amy Dupcak, author of Dust
The stories in Will Clattenburg's The Art of Fugue are banal revelations, and it is precisely the banality-its realness-that makes epiphany hurt. Each story captures perfectly an imperfect moment, with a quiet flash, with the most subdued flamboyance. It is a rare treat to watch such a dexterous and skilled storyteller at work!
