Suspense | Thriller
A riveting novel about the aftermath of a brutal
murder of three teenage girls, written in incantatory prose
"that's as fine as any being written by an American author
today." (Ben Fountain)
One late autumn
evening in a Texas town, two strangers walk into an ice
cream shop shortly before closing time. They bind up the
three teenage girls who are working the counter, set fire to
the shop, and disappear. SEE HOW SMALL tells the stories of
the survivors--family, witnesses, and suspects--who must
endure in the wake of atrocity. Justice remains elusive in
their world, human connection tenuous.
Hovering
above the aftermath of their deaths are the three girls.
They watch over the town and make occasional visitations,
trying to connect with and prod to life those they left
behind. "See how small a thing it is that keeps us apart,"
they say. A master of compression and lyrical precision,
Scott Blackwood has surpassed himself with this haunting,
beautiful, and enormously powerful new novel.
