ADVANCE PRAISE FOR
STAY UP WITH ME
'Tom Barbash's wise and bittersweet stories map the gulfs between us and the unexpected connections. I tried to keep track of my favorite one, but it was always the story I'd just finished' DAVID MITCHELL
'A short story collection in the classic sense. These are the stories of an author with a consistent perspective and a steady, even masterful, style, working within a universe where all the characters in these thirteen stories might even know one another' DAVE EGGERS
'Stay Up with Me is a superb collection of stories - sophisticated, lyrical, and moving - incisive in depicting the emotional connections between parents and children, husbands and wives, strangers and lovers. Tom Barbash is a blazingly good writer' JESS WALTER
'Is there such a thing as the Great American Story Collection? Yes, and this is it' JUSTIN CRONIN
'The characters in Tom Barbash's superb collection are caught between desire and confusion, grief and hope. To their stories he brings compassion, grace, and a laser intelligence. This book is a dazzler' ANN PACKER
'Tom Barbash is a master at capturing personal relationships in their sadness and beauty and aching complexity. Stay Up with Me is one of the most brilliant story collections I've read in a long, long time' ROBERT OLEN BUTLER

'Stay Up With Me belongs to the tradition of the classic American story and, like John Cheever, Barbash dramatizes the messy lives of New Yorkers' Independent on Sunday
A newly single mother wrestles with the evidence of her son's love life during his Christmas vacation; an anxious husband persists in playing the host at his annual drinks party even though his marriage is in trouble and his wife mysteriously absent; a young man watches his widowed father become the toast of Manhattan's midlife dating scene while he struggles to find his own footing in life . . .
The characters in Tom Barbash's acclaimed, Folio Prize-nominated collection explore the myriad ways we seek to connect with each other and the sometimes cruel world around us. In the classic tradition of John Cheever or Tobias Wolff, Barbash laces his narratives with sharp wit, psychological acuity and pathos, so that they pierce the heart and linger in the imagination.
