THE UNRAVELING OF ORDINARY MEN Stories

By Daniel Bright

A wry, unflinching collection of stories from Paul Robin, probing the small absolute ways ordinary men carry what they don't say out loud.Nine stories. Nine men mid-redirection, feeling something too big for the room it's supported to live in, and finding somewhere smaller to put it instead.
A father breaks a cycle he didn't know he was repeating, twenty-eight years after a match he never forgot. A man refuses to turn a sailboat around while his marriage quietly ends beneath him. A professional best man, hired to stand in for a groom's dead friend, tells the truth for the first time in a lent tuxedo. A man wanders into the wrong support group entirely and discovers he needed it more than the one he meant to find.
Wry, tender, and full of unexpected turns, the stories in The Unraveling of Ordinary Men are like nothing else. And yet they share one thing: each finds the exact moment a man stops managing a feeling and simply has it. In this debut collection,
Daniel Bright gives the ordinary, unraveling man his due.
