In this short collection of fiction, a lonely man plainchants for the waitress he once stalked, a sonless father serenades a fatherless son, and a bereft family gathers to bury a parent, providing an aching chorus of what is left. Carmody uses Biblical language to pierce the callous and bruised souls of these lost, and sometimes found, small-town Michiganders. In her raw spare stories, novelist, essayist, and poet Carol Muske-Dukes writes that Carmody creates in her raw, spare stories, "a voice out of the backyard burning bush, a Midwest scriptural mist: frank, fierce and fidgety, and most emphatically her own."RequiemsHistory and criticismRequiemsRequiemsHistory and criticism.Requiems.782.3232Carmody Teresa1830750Ulin David L1651110MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910946921503321Requiem4401257UNINA
