A Deafening Absence: Stories

A Deafening Absence gallops across time (from the 1970's to today) and place (from Central Texas to the Finger Lakes) to explore unforgettable moments between siblings, best friends, aging enemies, criminals, lovers, selves. Chris S. Witwer's debut collection of short stories, vignettes, and flash fiction will leave you wanting more. "'Not Today' reminds me of Alice Munro and Elizabeth Strout. It's absolutely lovely. I have so many questions. 'Jingle Ass' ends perfectly. There's a sub-theme of recognition and hiding and the narrator is doing both at the same time."
- ME Luthin "Every story makes me think they're based on memories of experiences I haven't actually had."
