Feeling distanced from her friends and family, Caitlin Drury is encouraged by her daughter to express her feelings in a diary, but she is hesitant: "I feel lonely she wrote, then crossed it out. She didn't like the idea of someone coming along later to read her journal, finding out she felt lonely.”
Like That, and other stories from Anthony Varallo's new collection give voice to the disconnections of family and relationships, and the silent emotions that often speak louder than words.

Riassunto
Winner of the 2008 Drue Heinz Literature Prize. Varallo's short story collection gives voice to the disconnections of family and relationships, and the silent emotions that often speak louder than words. It tells of longings for meaningful expression and the complexities and escapism of human interactions that keep us from these truths.
