Beyond Where the Buses Run - Theresa Griffin Kennedy - Bog

The anthology, Beyond Where the Buses Run: Stories, represents a compilation of six writers' visions of what can happen in a life. The writers' include Meagan Bejar, Robert Crane, Joe Coyle, Christopher Fryer, Kari Hildebrand, and Theresa Griffin Kennedy. The stories share the directions we go in, how we touch one another, how we hurt each other, and all while engaged in the sometimes lonely, sometimes frightening journey traversing a uniquely American landscape. The stories also contend with the natural world, fantasy, symbolism, and present other possible puzzles for the reader to unfurl. The tone, point of view, stylistic variations and delivery are all uniquely different and provide the reader with a broad sampling. The fiction stories contend in one form or another with the ways people cope with change and what is seen, unseen, or even intentionally hidden from our closest loved ones, or from ourselves. Finally, the stories take on with what it means to be human in a harsh and exacting world, becoming what one critic has referred to as a collection which offers "a special kind of American loneliness and quiet desperation."
