Debris: Stories

A gorgeous, and bruising, collection. With a voice that balances grit and grace, humor and heartbreak, Daniel S.C. Sutter captures great truths of the human condition . . . love is imperfect, forgiveness is complicated, survival often looks like stubborn hope. Debris announces a writer unafraid to look closely at what remains after impact-as well as the messes we leave behind.
