Book Synopsis
Editing a novel is an exercise in slaughtering your darlings, but in All He Left Behind the outtakes finally get their chance to shine. In eleven tales excised from the pages of his forthcoming novel Down the Cape, E. Christopher Clark brings his supporting cast into the spotlight. “Ian” tells the story of the fat best friend, and the father who made him that way. “The Silver Family Singers” offers a glimpse behind the music that was the soundtrack for a young girl’s childhood. “After the Prom” and “One Last Time” continue the tale of the tragic would-be writer Matthew Silver, a yarn Clark started spinning in his first book, Those Little Bastads. And, in “The Tale of Old Silas,” you’ll find the story of the crotchety old man whose seeming disdain for his children set the stage for every heartache that followed.
