The Things They Forgot to Tell Us When They Left - Paperback

by Christopher Bowen (Author)

Christopher Bowen's work tends to deal with heartache and loss, but pain as a precursor to growth and change. The characters in his fiction are down-and-out, forgotten people, but often through compromises and resolve, they are poetic, if not graceful. There is an overarching story, progression and theme of rural and post-industrial Midwestern America as pastoral backdrop that is incorporated into the narrative that includes familial kinship experiences, blurring the line between flash fiction and flash non-fiction.
