Bøker av Roger Hart

Roger Hart writes with savvy, grace, and abiding tenderness about people in love and in trouble. He's an enchanter casting his spell with impeccable sentences and exquisite details. He knows that characters only truly exist when they interact and entangle with other characters. What ingenuity on these pages, what nerve, and what an exhilarating collection of stories Mysteries of the Universe is.

And now I'm going to read it again.- John Dufresne, No Regrets, Coyote
