Reviews

The stories in Struggles are hard-edged, timely, and memorable. Bass is concerned with universal questions: the horror and horrible aftermath of war, the effects of guilt--sexual and other--and the loneliness and fear of the desperate, who often, as we know, resort to violence. The author's wide range of subject matter, his vivid use of detail, and his masterful sense of irony commend these stories. Be warned, however: they are not for the faint of heart! -- Sarah Gordon, Ph.D., author of Flannery O'Connor: The Obedient Imagination ...his book delivers an emotionally, sexually, and physically ferocious aspect of life. Punches are not pulled. -- Theresa Rice, founder of Blue Lion Literary Consulting and author of Amusing Ma Bouche This book is a searing, often erotic, and violent collection of stories that will...challenge readers. -- Herb Meyer, retired English teacher and author of In the Tomb of the Soul
