Praise for Looking for the Light:
I have now read over a hundred stories by this talented writer and have yet to find myself not looking forward to his next. Amidst Desaulnier's wide spectrum of stories are a few related to his time as an aspiring bullfighter. This latest volume includes one of my favorites Tienta. Rousing applause for Looking for the Light.
-Dan Armstrong, author of the novels Blake College, Quicksand and Princeton Charlie's Got the Bules
In these stories we experience narrative innovation. Connections among friends and lovers, the reaching out from one to another occur in such a way that dramatic conclusions rest with the reader beyond the last words of the stories. Read and enjoy them and the points will emerge clearly.
-Richard Lyons, author of novels The Edge of Things, Divisible by One and the collection of stories, A Wilderness of Love and Faith
This new collection of stories by Russ Desaulnier knocked me out. The author leads you down a path and just when you get comfortable the ground drifts and a new reality emerges, over and over again.
-Jerry Rust, author of the novels Yew and The Covered Bridge Murders
These stories refract human experience with great insight and skill: family, courage, humiliation, secrets, confronting and reorienting oneself to the past, willing a change to life's trajectory, encounters with the dying. Desaulnier has a knack for subtly illuminating the manifold spectra of love.
-Ross West, author of The Fragile Blue Dot: Stories from Our Imperiled Biosphere
