Descending Fire & Other Stories
The author describes his
characters as people who, though they earn little money, are not quite
working poor—nor can they work without working hard. They do not know
quite how to betray or abandon each other. Â Mostly, they try to love and
do not readily shy from duty. Though Allman’s narratives run from stark
naturalism to the near magical and the out-and-out futuristic, his
imagination holds to the everyday—as if to say to his readers: Yes, life
is grim, but it is precisely the unbearable that becomes the ground for
healing.
