Praise
Advance Praise for Family and Other Accidents:
“This novel of brotherly love—of brothers, of their loves, of their lovers—explores the intersection of domestic urgencies and erotic requirements. The dialogue is witty, the sex is constant, and the wounded, small child inside each character is persuasively wrought. Shari Goldhagen’s writing is sympathetic and smart.”
—Frederick Busch, author of North and The Night Inspector
“Jack and Connor are by turns joyous and sad, wise and foolish, fragile and tough, kind and mean, even cruel—but they are always human, always fresh, always surprising, always lovable even when we least want to love them.”
—Bill Roorbach, author of The Smallest Color and Big Bend
“Shari Goldhagen has the sharp eye and the keen ear—not to mention the generous heart—to make these characters’ stories ours.”
—Lee Abbott, author of All Things, All At Once and Love Is the Crooked Thing
“Goldhagen illuminates with some of the deftest, unchillingly ironic, emotionally complex, understated, subtly tender, winning writer I have ever read.”
—Michelle Herman, author of Dog
