โฆ Synopsis
A tired man, struggling to overcome the loss of his wife in a car accident. Two old friends, hoping to rediscover their connection on a trip to the woods. A screenwriter hoping to hear news about the future of his film.In Jon Raymond's deft, nuanced stories, these and other characters contend with the frustrations, longings, and mood swings we face every day. Artfully conveying the feeling of lived experience, these stories brim with gratifying sensory detail: the sound of a tree root snapping underfoot, the smell of a roast, the stillness of the air after music has stopped. And, with careful observations and a humane spirit, "Livability "gives us a portrait of America full of characters finding ways to survive their own choices.Published to coincide with the national release of "Wendy and Lucy," these refined, elegiac stories are the work of a writer with a long and promising career ahead of him.
