Beyond Redemption

It’s small wonder that Gary V. Powell’s short stories and flash fiction have received wide-spread recognition. This collection of mostly previously-published short stories and flash fiction reveal a seasoned writer at the top of his game. Meet a young lawyer whose rite of passage to partnership entails much more than good lawyering. Listen in on a family teetering on the brink of disaster as the geese gather on Horicon Marsh. Put yourself in the place of a corporate manager asked to fire an older man he respects. Take a trip down the Baha with a man who has lost everything and knows he’ll never get it back. Go back home for the funeral of the friend who was you lover in high school. Sometimes these characters win. Sometimes they lose. In language that’s both spare and inviting, Mr. Powell introduces us to stories of real people, battling real problems. Grab hold and hang on.
