Forgiveness
Jim Grimsley
In the satirical vein of writers such as George Saunders, Terry Southern, and Brett Easton Ellis, Jim Grimsley tells a darkly comical story about a man wiped out in the crash of Enron whose life is primed to become a made-for-TV movie.
Affliction
Russell Banks
A gentle man, the victim of a violent father, is made violent himself by a fellow cop whom he suspects of murdering a local labor official, and an ex-wife who limits contact with their daughter.
