Voyagers - Russ Desaulnier - Bog

"These stories read as genuine experience, created by a writer for whom craft is an instinct. The matter of each is evoked without mishap. For each I came away thoughtful, touched."
-Richard Lyons, author of The Edge of Things and Divisible by One
"The characters in Voyagers traverse the uncharted territory of life's starts and stops, dream their way through lazy curves and careen around sharp corners while navigating friendships new and old, exploring young love, enduring the searing void of loss. They encounter kindness, violence, and regret; couple and uncouple; are lacerated and heal, bear scars. An epic journey."
-Ross West, author of the short story collection The Fragile Blue Dot
"There's nothing more to say. Russ Desaulnier has perfected the craft of writing short stories. He now graces us with his fifth volume, Voyagers. The title comes from the first story in the collection and that alone makes the book a success-and yet there are many more excellent stories to follow."
-Dan Armstrong, author of The Eyes of Archimedes, Quicksand and Princeton Charlie's Got the Blues
"With Voyagers, Russ Desaulnier has once again succeeded in so seamlessly blending real people and real places with their fictional counterparts that readers won't know the difference...but will thoroughly enjoy all four."
-Barry Lawler, author of the story collections Kitchen Sink Anthology, Personal Skirmishes: 21 Heart Warming Misadventures, Miracles and Minor Atrocities and the novel Fish
