Eyes: Novellas and Stories

Eyes: Novellas and Stories

The point where an underground spring suddenly bursts to the surface is known as an eye. It is a place of mystery, where dry ground becomes soaked with life-giving water, and nature gives us a glimpse of all that happens out of the realm of human vision. So begins William Gassâ€™s latest collection, with these evocative lines from Jan DeBlieu. What follows are six extraordinary works of fiction: stories and novellas that capture these moments of mystery and explore the hidden philosophical depths of everyday life as only Gass can.

â€œCharityâ€ examines the roles of asking, giving, and receiving through the prism of a young lawyer who offers a simple gift. â€œIn Cameraâ€ takes us into a photography shop ownerâ€™s incomparable collection of images. â€œDonâ€™t Even Try, Samâ€ gives us the voice of the prop piano from Casablanca, and â€œSoliloquy for a Chairâ€ is narrated by a folding chair in a barbershop that is ultimately fated for destruction. Incisive, darkly funny, formally innovative and linguistically stunning, Eyes is a tour de force of modern fiction.
