FOLK SONGS FOR TRAUMA SURGEONS BY KEITH ROSSON

WithFolk Songs for Trauma Surgeons, award-winning author Keith Rosson once again delves into notions of family, identity, indebtedness, loss, and hope, with the surefooted merging of literary fiction and magical realism hes explored in previous novels. In Dunsmuir, a newly sober husband buys a hearse to help his wife spread her sisters ashes, while The Lesser Horsemen illustrates what happens when God instructs the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to go on a team-building cruise as a way of boosting their frayed morale. In Brad Benske and the Hand of Light, an estranged husband seeks his wifes whereabouts through a fortuneteller after she absconds with a cult, and the returning soldier in Homecoming navigates the strange and ghostly confines of his hometown, as well as the boundaries of his own grief. With grace, imagination, and a brazen gallows humor,Folk Songs for Trauma Surgeonsmerges the fantastic and the everyday, and includes new work as well as award-winning favorites.
