On today's podcast, a review of Issa Quincy's novel 'Absence' (Two Dollar Radio).
From the publisher: "A child is beguiled by a poem read to him by his mother. The poem follows this elusive narrator like a whisper throughout his life, echoing across the years in the stories and lives of others as they are recounted to him: an enigmatic and beloved schoolteacher who leaves behind a dark secret after his death; a woman who lays the table for a son she knows will never return home; a young man shunned by his family, who finds solace and freedom in the letters from an estranged aunt; a black-and-white photograph that tells of another family, afflicted with generations of tragedy."
It's a haunting, beautiful book that examines everyday objects and everyday losses.
