A Bigger Piece of Blue: Stories
Dan T. Cox, author

Adult; General Fiction (including literary and historical); (Market)

These compelling stories huddle around the twitching candle flame of real life. The simple, unpretentious writing turns an honest eye toward the grit and grace of ordinary people making decisions in the context of their relationships, good and bad and in between. The stories touch on love gone sideways, love rediscovered, and love everlasting. A strong sense of place, a subtle use of language, and a captivating pace (sometimes without action) dominate throughout—as do lead characters who are richly realized despite a brevity of words. Indeed, the work strikes a forbidding balance between sharing and withholding nuggets of insight. Stories like these can twist you unexpectedly, and stay with you a good long while.

Kirkus Reviews

“Cox creates an impressive array of characters and voices…and he pulls them all off elegantly. His characters are imperfect, often scarred, and always struggling—and therefore believable. Cox not only constructs immediate, vibrant scenes, but also widens his focus to show the effects of specific choices over lifetimes.”—Kirkus Reviews

Reader Review

Incredibly well written. The characters are three dimensional and compelling. The complexity of the story is done with such precision and simplicity that it is amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can't wait to see what the author does next!
