In these masterly crafted stories, Jerry Whitus, writes with grace and precision about the complex lives of his characters. Like Chekhov he has the ability to capture the extraordinary in the ordinary moments of life, both urgent and comic. For the most part they are seeking Restitution, which is the title of the first story. In another story, a young hunter comes upon the body of an old man, sending the boy on a dark journey to a strange house and even stranger ending. In We Recruits in Granny Pearl's Army, a great-grandmother employs charm and a kind of sorcery to turn her six step-great-grandchildren against their parents. And in Bible Music, a Las Vegas musician, summoned by his vulnerable father, travels home to find the beloved man entangled in a dangerous religious sect. These are deeply satisfying stories full of stunning surprises and gripping tension rarely seen in contemporary fiction.
