A collection of short stories from the contemporary American master whom the New York Times declared "e;the most compassionate fiction writer working today."e;Suffused with Russell Bankss trademark lyricism and reckless humor, the twelve stories in A Permanent Member of the Family examine the myriad ways we tryand sometimes failto connect with one another, as we seek a home in the world.In the title story, a father looks back on the legend of the cherished family dog whose divided loyalties mirrored the fragmenting of his marriage. A Former Marine asks, to chilling effect, if one can ever stop being a parent. And in the haunting, evocative Veronica, a mysterious woman searching for her daughter may not be who she claims she is.Moving between the stark beauty of winter in upstate New York and the seductive heat of Florida, Bankss acute and penetrating collection demonstrates the range and virtuosity of both his narrative prowess and his startlingly panoramic vision of modern American life.
