Winner of FC2's Ronald Sukenick Innovative Fiction Prize. A grand tour of the edges of our lives, where glory and significance riot against the logic of living and the pall of tragedy. The Making Sense of Things is a collection of twelve stories that pulse with memory, magic, and myth-all our favorite ways of trying to make sense of things. Readers are treated to vivid and unforgettable characters. A fiercely independent woman puts the man who loves her to unconscionable tests, never guessing that arson, suicide, and canine obesity will yield a magical kind of happiness. A honeymooner in Venice, addled by fever and second thoughts, commits by dumb error a double murder. A brisk lawyer founders when a car wreck claims his son and ex-wife, then discovers that the desperation of grief is a kind of hope.
