The Consummation of Dirk
- 2013 INDIES Finalist
- Finalist, Short Stories (Adult Fiction)
The Consummation of Dirk's stories ratchet up tension and emotion in tiny increments until the surfaces are tight to bursting. The gifted child contemplating murder, the husband drowning in melancholy, the pro basketball athlete finding his road to Damascus all emerge from adept torrents of words that bear comparison with Virginia Woolf and David Foster Wallace.
