Sad Boy

“Terrific! Quiet, deceptively simple, and moving, with a ring of truth.” ~ Corey Flintoff, NPR “Michael Keith’s characters are often eerily familiar because they reflect parts of ourselves – the parts we wonder and worry about that take us to dangerous places our more rational selves avoid. They and their dilemmas unfold vividly in a short space of time, disturbingly destined to their fates. Keith’s skillful writing is as rare as it is superb. He leaves you sometimes sad, other times relieved, and always amazed.” ~ Kathleen Kelley Reardon, The Secret Handshake and Shadow Campus “These are authentic and deeply engaging stories, exploring the dark and illuminated forces which collide and coexist in all of us. With Sad Boy, Michael C. Keith has given us a penetrating collection. A deft and clear-eyed amalgam of love and longing.” —Robert Scotellaro, author of Measuring the Distance and The Night Sings A Cappella
