An Explanation for Chaos
Soho Press, 1997
In this collection of stories, Julie Schumacher
captures the intensly visceral dynamics of family, the inextricable
bonds of siblings, and the dangers and mysteries of adolescence,
all rendered with a pathos that is totally original.
"Unusually intelligent, confident,
and moving... Tuning one moment into the frequency of Flannery
O'Conner, another into that of J.D. Salinger."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Julie Schumacher's stories are fierce
and powerful, funny and alluring, executed with skill and
precision."
--Ron Hansen
