Description:
A nun crashes her car. An unborn child sings to its mother. A troubled priest is in the market for a London apartment.
In The Heart Is a Full-Wild Beast, John L'Heureux explores head-on life's biggest questions, and the moments — of joy, doubt, transcendence — that alter the course of life. Compiled as he neared the end of his life, and conceived as the legacy of a life's work, The Heart Is a Full-Wild Beast brims with elegance, humour, and compassion, welcoming both the ordinary and the rapturous. L'Heureux is a writer of astonishing vision — a master of storytelling and the sentence.
John L'Heureux spent his long, prolific career exploring questions of morality and faith in stories that entertain, surprise, and sometimes disturb; and The Heart Is a Full-Wild Beast compiles the enduring stories of a distinctive American writer.
'A sweeping posthumous collection wrestles with faith, irony, and the redemptive nature of love.' — Kirkus, starred review
'Howling, savagely powerful short stories [that] dramatise the brutal collisions of divine will and human nature. They abound in grace.' — Sam Sacks, Wall Street Journal
'This collection is luminous and breathtaking, varied and delightful and surprising, scattering perfectly shaped gems before us.' — Financial Times
'Darkly funny, bittersweet, audacious, tender... it is so sad to think that we will have no more short stories from this master of the form.' — Joyce Carol Oates
