Long, loose chains of events culminate in volta-like swerves. these endings refashion early meanderings in thrilling flashes. -The New York TimesStapleton's complex narrative structure will undoubtedly bedevil and enchant while wrestling with fundamental questions about identity. -PoliticoIn Lara Stapleton's The Ruin of Everything, stories dealt with issues of bifurcated identities and self-confidence or the lack thereof in the lives of Filipino Americans and how they negotiate their conflicting, slippery claims on the New York and/or Manila states of mind. -The News InternationalAn Ana s Nin of late capitalism's bohemia, Lara Stapleton writes like an oracle of an underworld-of miscegenated loves and translocated broken souls-of characters unaware or ruinously conscious-and she inscribes that world in us with lust and wit and always that deep joy that encompasses sorrows bred in the bone, the race, the colors of one's skin, the heart, and of course the tongue: the word. -Gina Apostol, author of InsurrectoWith a keen eye for human ambitions and human frailties, Stapleton brings us the comic turmoil of characters steeped in the sorrows and absurdities of modern life; reaching for connection and erring, reaching for home and missing. Brimming with hard-edged loneliness, these stories reach into the underbellies of our deepest hopes and fears. -Laurel Flores Fantauzzo, author of My Heart Underwater.…

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. In this collection of twelve unforgettable short stories, Lara Stapleton writes from the same precarious emotional plane where her characters live. She writes about people living in a world that forces them to recreate daily their small corner of hope. These are people who don't quite fit; who often seem just a little out of step with their circumstances; who have a past to run from but no clear future to run to; who live in the present with the pure ache of longing. They are complex: defiant and helpless, isolated and exposed, sometimes painfully self-aware, sometimes lagging behind the curve.A gutsy, emotionally astute collection of stories that walks the reader over the hot coals of unnamed desire.- Ginu Kamani, author ofJunglee GirlLara Stapleton takes us to a world in which everyone is intensely human and vulnerable, whether they are roaming the climate-controlled megamalls of Manila or the desolate streets of a Midwest town.With the precision of a microsurgeon, Stapleton dissects the subtle frustrations of the heart, picking out details and tell-tale cracks that make life seem so fragile, and therefore dear. The stories inThe Lowest Blue Flame Before Nothingare an unflinching look into lives of quiet desperation, and an auspicious debut for its young author.-Eric Gamalinda, editor,Flippin': Filipinos on America In the eleven short stories and a novella, Lara Stapleton examines the lives of people struggling to escape defeat - to rise above past humiliations or forestall disasters.
