Recipient of the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction And Give You Peace
"Treadway's careful craftsmanship and her unobtrusive grounding of the narrative with details of small-town life add authenticity to a moving exploration of promising lives detoured into tragedy and reaffirmed through the sharing of buried secrets and a willingness forgive." –Publishers Weekly –One of Booklist's Top 10 Debut Novels of 2001 Absent Without Leave and Other Stories
"Without a doubt, Absent Without Leave and Other Stories, Jessica Treadway's first book, is one of the most powerful debuts by an American writer in years. The ten stories in the collection are emotionally raw, unflinching in their honesty and generous in their depth." –Don Lee, Ploughshares Winner of the John C. Zacharis First Book Award, Ploughshares, 1993 |
