Readers, particularly those in Michigan, have been waiting for several years now for Thomas Lynch's new collection of fiction. Author of poetry and essays, Lynch is well known for his non fiction, particularly that focused on his other career, funeral home director. Lynch's The Undertaking has been buzzing since its publication. A National Book award nominee, Lynch has long promised a work of fiction. Apparition & Late Fiction brings together a single novella and four short stories, all of which showcase Lynch's poetic tendencies. His prose is lyrical and large.
Conclusions will arrive soon about how well his command of the essay translates to his new fiction. Longtime Lynch readers will, however, be pleased to at last have the chance to assess the possibilities.
