'Richard Lange's stories are a revelation ... He is Raymond Carver reborn in a hard cityscape. Read him and be amazed' T.C. Boyle
Every life is uncertain. Every choice is a danger.
Set on the dark side of Los Angeles, this is a masterful collection of edge-of-your-seat tales. A prison guard must protect an inmate being tried for heinous crimes. A father and son set out to rescue a young couple trapped during a wildfire after they cross the border. An ex-con trying to make good as a security guard stumbles onto a burglary plot. And a young father must submit to blackmail to protect the fragile life he's built.
SWEET NOTHING is an intense and gripping journey through real lives with big problems, from one of America's great short story writers.
'For all the darkness that runs through the stories, Lange maintains a disarmingly light touch . . . These tales are not far removed from the classic stories of O. Henry and Guy de Maupassant' Kirkus Reviews
'Utterly believable postcards from the edge' Library Journal
