A woman tries to prepare her man-child
husband for their impending divorce. A middle-aged guy in the grip of codeine
and suburban ennui reinvents himself as an old west gunfighter. A heartbroken
father navigates life after his son is grievously injured. A writer returns
home after caring for his dying father, and worries that his own life's work
has been frivolous. After a series of improbable adventures in a single night,
a young man wonders if he should accept that this is as good as life will ever
get. A boy witnesses a tragedy that leads him to question the wisdom of his
family's move from the Midwest to an eastern industrial city.
The people in There Will Never Be
Another Night Like This have one thing in common: they're in flux.
Will they pivot and move on gracefully, or stumble and fall?
Here you'll find hilarity and tragedy,
often on the same page. Salter's insights into the human condition, its dreams
and nightmares, are always unflinching but never without compassion. Vibrant
writing and finely-tuned dialogue make There Will Never Be Another Night
Like This an unforgettable collection in the tradition of short story
masters like Raymond Carver, Ann Beattie, and John Cheever.
