And Then

Stories of people that come and go from our lives and the indelible marks they leave. “In this crisp, fragmented novel, Breckenridge captures the dwelling of lost souls in living minds…introducing the supernatural into his compact, propulsive tales.” —Publishers Weekly

Donald Breckenridge takes readers on a hypnotically broken journey, chronicling his fathers slow and deliberate death, interweaving the stories of others: a young woman's hopeful arrival in New York City, a young man's voyeuristic summer spent housesitting for his professor, and a soldier who never made it out of Vietnam. What they all have in common is a deep preoccupation with the way lives resonate and connect, an emotionally honest love story about how we relate to others and ourselves.

And Then will be treasured by readers who look to literature to find solace and meaning in trying times.
