'When you're writing, it's all internal. It's all in your head. It's all you know on paper. It's all very much just isolated. But when you're doing a reading, you can actually connect with people.'

MORE ABOUT THE CARD PARTY AND OTHER STORIES

“Perlmutter’s moral center, his respect and admiration for these characters, for, it seems, these women’s voices, is great and moving. It has all the things I admire, compassion, humor, historical and political vision, and so on . . . All I can do is note the wisdom and patience and fully formed love of literature here.” —-Rick Moody, author of The Ice Storm

“Post-war writers like Isaac Bashevis Singer and Chaim Grade dedicated their fiction to bringing their dead to life . . . Tom Perlmutter of the next generation introduces a marvelous covey of Hungarian Jewish women who carried their murdered dead within them into their new Canadian life knowing that as “survivors” they must also die, but not before leaving an indelible imprint on their sons—and through them on the marvel of fiction..." —-Ruth Wisse, author of The Schlemiel as a Modern Hero

"The Weight of Sunshine" launch day! https://www.highfrequencypress.com/catalogue/p/the-weight-of-sunshine-debut-novel-by-robin-maguire-literary-fiction

You don't want to miss this read! Scintillating, smart... Author Robin Maguire takes you on a wild ride.

Booklife-community review! https://booklife.com/project/the-weight-of-sunshine-106522

Nina Rhodes is the kind of girl you don’t hook up with along the way because she’s the kind of girl you might want to end up with. Only Jackson doesn’t. And maybe she isn’t that girl.

From senior year in college, we follow their ricochet between coasts, careers, and marriages into adulthood’s messy, glittering sprawl. A kaleidoscope of perspectives, includes first husbands and wives who add their spicy takes: a juicy portrait of ‘what is’. When one impulsive act shifts the axis of their lives, our heroes are officially screwed. Set against the backdrop of affluent California and Manhattan, The Weight of Sunshine explores emotional inheritances—grief, desire and fractured loyalties and how they reverberate across generations. Fresh, spirited, and richly character-driven, this is a story about privilege, pain, reinvention and the one person we can never quite let go.

More about "Make Good Choices":

"Make Good Choices" is a deeply-rendered love note to Chicago in four story sections. “Larkins” follows Gabriel Larkin’s family’s move from a South Side Irish-American neighborhood to the suburbs. “Old Chicago” centers on unlikely reunions and alliances from the 1960s to present day, highlighting cultural institutions of the Loop threatened by street violence. In “Difficult Kids,” a foster child’s deepest desire to belong finds him falling in love with the girl next door, a budding pianist. “Larkin Redux” returns Gabriel to his origins in Rogers Park, where he must reconcile a long life of difficult choices.
