@rabihalameddine Grief by Andrew Holleran is a marvel of a novella. Reunion by Fred Uhlman is as well, with one of the great last lines I've ever read.

What terribly sad news. A giant of a writer. CONTINENTAL DRIFT is as great a book as I’ve ever read. And RULE OF THE BONE is my go-to recommendation for reluctant teen readers. It transforms them into lifelong readers without fail. #RussellBanks https://t.co/MN8aFQPDOY
