Böcker av Ted McLoof

"A poignant book about what it is to love in the 21st Century from a fantastically gifted and perceptive writer."-Johanna Lane, author of Black Lake"By expertly balancing what is revealed and what is withheld across the tightly-connected stories of this engrossing book, Ted McLoof assembles an honest, amusing, and moving puzzle of desperate lovers and the lives that lie just outside their grasp. Each story feels delivered right into your ear at a dark, windowless bar, by a long-lost friend, who jokes about the wreckage of his life, chokes back a sob, and then orders another round. Like all well-told tales, you never want them to end. An addictive and deceptively powerful book. "-Mike Harvkey, author of In the Course of Human Events"Wry and deft, at times melancholy and self-deprecating, these stories slip neatly into the fine line between romance and comedy. Ted McLoof writes with enviable awareness about the insecurities and uncertainties of relationships, and even more so about how we come to terms with our lonely self-delusions. "-Manuel Munoz, author of What You See in the Dark
