In contrasting styles and voices, Henry presents a mid-life rancher's protest against aging, a factory foreman's flight from grief, King Kong's seduction by Beauty, a writer's death-defying bungee jump, a police chief's humiliation, and a Philadelphia executive's breakdown during World War II. De Casibus is the lyrical motif.

Falling Six Stories eBook DeWitt Henry

These are stories with traction. Henry's writing immediately brought to mind the work of Richard Yates in terms of style, time periods, and deep characterizations. And, like Yates, he takes no prisoners. Nobody is let off the hook for bad behaviors and screw ups. These stories take the reader on a journey that is fully fleshed out. My favorites were those concerning men who are 'falling' in the sense of betraying their own values and subsequently ruining lives as they plunge forward toward some skewed ideal of personal happiness. Henry doesn't attempt to steer the reader. The stories are what they are: Lives. Told without an attempt at emotional pretense. Of my many favorites in this collection, the final story 'Come Get Me' is epic, spanning that time in history prior to WW2 and beyond. Most highly recommended.
