South Brooklyn Casket Company

2.5/5 ( ratings)

The stories in this collection take place on the outskirts of the ordinary, where the protection of everyday routine is unavailable: a hospital visit to a dying friend, anonymous sexual encounters, a four-year-old boy who cannot fathom the disappearance of his father. For Klaus Kertess, these moments are at the limits of language. Yet, with consummate skill, he is able to say the unsayable.
