Mixed Emotions

In his masterful tale Mixed Emotions, allegorical novelist Bud Fussell draws together the disparate threads of his three previous works: Scoundrel, Shepherds and Redemption?. In doing so he draws the reader both back into a reconsideration of the ancient roots of these compelling stories, and also makes it undeniably clear that the passions, failures, victories and moral realities of historical figures are being lived out today as well. In simple, elegant prose, Fussell reveals the human side of the mighty and the triumphant potential of ordinary human beings.
