Hours of Wealth
The stories in Hours of Wealth open a strange and powerful world, where magic realism merges with the everyday, prodding the dark nerves of imagined possibility.
A young man’s sudden obsession with triangles begins to seem contagious; a dangerously neglectful parent finds voice in disturbing ways; loves and tribulations form odd patterns in a student’s life; and a videotape of home movies, discovered among the fusty cast-offs of a lifetime, pushes us toward a fresh exploration of the immense shadow of memory.
Hours of Wealth is a book of wonderful vision from a commanding new voice in fiction.
