Lately

In eleven interconnected stories, Sara Pritchard presents women and men whose lives have been influenced by Bob Dylan and Vietnam, childhood accidents and family mysteries. The characters in Lately often possess a certain good-can-be-made-from-bad personal calculus, a resilience of character, and a resolve to suck out the marrow of life — or at least to soldier on. Pritchard's stories captivate with radiant prose, offbeat characters, and emotional depth. "A Winter's Tale" follows a mother who yearns for a meaningful connection with her sullen teenage son. In "The Honor of Your Presence," two sisters throw a divorce party — from cake to costume it's a Martha Stewart vision gone darkly, delightfully awry. "Late October, Early April" finds a coed in the late 1960s debating whether to keep the child she's carrying, while the baby's father is missing in action. Disarming and heartfelt, Lately is the work of a writer of great sensitivity and spirit.      190 pages.
