Description
Stuart Evers, the author of the critically acclaimed, prize-winning collection Ten Stories About Smoking returns with twelve unforgettable stories of parental love and parental mistakes. Set in the past, present and future, these short stories are unified by their compassion, animated by the unsaid, and distinguished by how beautifully they extract the luminous from the ordinary.
Your Father Sends His Love by Stuart Evers is a book of powerful emotion: of vulnerability, duty, betrayal, loss, anger, fear and joy. While its characters often feel more than they can express, they are in the hands of a masterful story teller, who gives time to what might otherwise be incidental, and who dignifies the things that might otherwise pass us by.

Advance Praise
"Evers's everymen break my heart"
Eimear McBride, author of A Girl is a Half-formed Thing.
"A thrillingly inventive collection of stories about alienation and longing and dread. Stuart Evers writes with great subtlety about all the ways we estrange ourselves from the people we love and about the rare moments of grace in which we somehow stumble home again."
Jenny Offill, author of Dept. of Speculation.
"Wit is a precision weapon, and Stuart Evers is astonishingly precise. It takes an enormous and well calibrated brain to put together a collection like Your Father Sends His Love. It is one of the funniest—savagely funny, tenderly funny— and therefore one of the most moving, books I’ve read in a long time."
Teju Cole, author of Open City
