It is a place of mystery, where dry ground becomes soaked with life-giving water, and nature gives us a glimpse of all that happens out of the realm of human vision\u003c\/i\u003e. So begins William Gass's latest collection, with these evocative lines from Jan DeBlieu. What follows are six extraordinary works of fiction: stories and novellas that capture these moments of mystery and explore the hidden philosophical depths of everyday life as only Gass can. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Charity\" examines the roles of asking, giving, and receiving through the prism of a young lawyer who offers a simple gift. \"In Camera\" takes us into a photography shop owner's incomparable collection of images. \"Don't Even Try, Sam\" gives us the voice of the prop piano from Casablanca, and \"Soliloquy for a Chair\" is narrated by a folding chair in a barbershop that is ultimately fated for destruction. Incisive, darkly funny, formally innovative and linguistically stunning, \u003ci\u003eEyes\u003c\/i\u003e is a tour de force of modern fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16157495\"\u003eWilliam H.
