In Homesickness, Colin Barrett brings together eight character-driven stories, following the lives of outcasts, misfits, and malcontents from County Mayo, Ireland, to Canada. There are ghosts who won’t lay in wake, a policewoman confronting the banality of her existence, and an aspiring writer grappling with his father’s cancer diagnosis. Each tale in this collection is a showcase for his observant eye and darkly humorous style. The stories in Bojan Louis‘ gritty debut Sinking Bell: Stories, depict violent collisions of love, cultures, and racism. He draws empathetic portraits of day laborers, metalheads, motel managers, aspiring writers and musicians, and construction workers. They strain to temper predatory or self-destructive impulses and endeavor to end cycles of abuse and remake themselves anew.
