Description

This collection of short stories presents Valentine's most characteristic moods, illustrating in plain and striking prose, his concern with the nature of masculinity, the virtuous and hideous aspects of it, while showcasing a literary range of romance, drama and tragedy. The title story is a piercing study of a teenage boy coping with the death of his brother which his abusive father suspects he was responsible for, pushing him into a year of deviant behavior, from which he is offered a return by an old flame. Likewise, in the Ballad of McMurphy & McMurphy the death of a prostitute in a New York brothel, and the affections of another, prompt the protagonist to plot his elaborate escape from a life of immorality. Another, Brooklyn Heart, is the story of a young man attending a dance in a military hangar interwoven with the story of his parents courtship and demise, set against World War II. Many of the stories, which highlight Valentine's talent for capturing the essence of a situation in unembellished, highly detailed prose, are set in America and Europe and are connected by their themes of religion, paternalism, individualism and the study of men who have lost women.
