"Nothing is more painful to the human mind than, after the feelings have been worked by a quick succession of events, the dead calmness of inaction and certainty which follows and deprives the soul both of hope and fear."

It is rare when every piece in a collection of short stories takes hold of us—our interest, our fascination, our emotions—and refuses to let go. Such is the case in CK Gauntt’s alarmingly forceful compendium, The Usual Grievances. Beginning with the tragic and haunting From a Child, the Writer’s Hands to the final lines of the closing story (Thou shalt not follow false gods. We are all guilty), we are pulled through every permutation of the human condition at its best, and its worst.
