We are all faced with situations in our life that shatters and upsets our core beliefs. A event or a circumstance occurs and we are stunned to our inner psyches trying to figure out how to deal with it. It is a common occurrence in the human condition and Kenneth Radu writes about those situations in a terrific manner in his collection of short stories called Earthbound.

Many of us have those “stories from the old country” lodged in our memories that our family has instilled in us. They are brilliant flashes of thoughts and recollections that come to us from time to time when certain situation occur. Kenneth Radu has collected some of those memories and thoughts in his collection of poetry called Romanian Suite which is a brilliant read.

In Earthbound Kenneth Radu has produced another satisfying collection of short fiction. Narrated in precise language and with an eye for detail, these stories focus mostly upon people in direct conflict with their circumstances or one another--a practical-minded son whose father is obsessed with conspiracy theories and extraterrestrial visitation, a porn-shop owner whose shiftless brother is constantly criticizing him on moral grounds while badgering him for money, a widow of strong religious convictions who lusts after her crippled neighbor's husband. These are stories set mostly in the here and now that expose the gap between where we are and where we want to be. Radu's favorite character is not male or female, young or old, black or white, but one struggling to reconcile or rationalize the gap between dream and reality. This is compelling short fiction from a seasoned writer and well worth seeking out.… (mais)
