About this book
Clayton's stories are full of a tended loyalty to the flesh in all the forms it finds for itself, and to all its electricities--need for pleasure, elan and affinity--and the traceries these energies leave when they are spent. These stories take human vulnerability as the measure of human courage. To reckon so justly is kinder than compassion and more generous than praise. Marilynne Robinson.
