Sinopsis

Spanning nearly a decade of Kathy Fish&rsquo,s writing,áTogether We Can Bury Itádraws heavily on the author&rsquo,s Midwestern roots. Like the changing seasons, themes of childhood, siblinghood, and adult loss and betrayal are woven throughout these stories. In &ldquo,Florida,&rdquo, we share in Emmeline&rsquo,s devastation when her mother makes her go to school unbathed after wetting the bed: &ldquo,But how will you ever learn if you don&rsquo,t suffer the consequences?&rdquo, In stories like &ldquo,Shoebox,&rdquo, we witness daughters struggling against distant parents, their lives out of control, these girls &ldquo,don&rsquo,t want to grow big and strong, they want to be left alone.&rdquo,áAs we read about and remember milestone moments from our own lives, like first kisses, first heartbreak, and first sexual encounters, so too do we recognize that familiar &ldquo,smile a woman wears when she&rsquo,s on the verge of tears,&rdquo, particularly in stories like &ldquo,Wake Up,&rdquo, &ldquo,The Hollow,&rdquo, &ldquo,Breathless,&rdquo, and &ldquo,Foreign Film,&rdquo, which reveal to us the lives of women in the midst of separation, divorce, widowhood, and desperation: &ldquo,I call my husband sometimes in the middle of the night. &lsquo,Are we going to be okay?&rsquo, I ask, whispering. I don',t want to wake him up completely.&rdquo, It is difficult not to think of these women as the little girl, all grown up now, from &ldquo,Wild Yellow Dog, Giant Red Fox,&rdquo, whose grandmother gives her a Royal typewriter and asks: &ldquo,Please make your next story a happy one.&rdquo, This is a collection that captures the feeling of embarking &ldquo,on a long trip, something important and urgent, as if someone far away has died and here we are, speeding to the wake.&rdquo,á
