SUZANNE RIVECCA

07/13/2010 7:00 pm

In and around the appearances here by fiction writers three and four books along, or those of long-established status, is this visit by San Francisco's Suzanne Rivecca, a Pushcart Prize winner and former Wallace Stegner Fellow, here with her debut book of stories, Death is Not an Option (W.W. Norton). "With exquisite patience and piercing insight , Suzanne Rivecca illuminates the dangerous dance between victims and saviors. Death is Not an Option delivers us to the edge of grief, that precarious place where the moral compass spins—where codes of love and law and religion fail. Mercy here depends on a tiger's sublime grace, our capacity to resist deeper harm, and the right of every broken being to remain silent." - Melanie Rae Thon. "The intensity and thought of feeling in Suzanne Rivecca's stories is remarkable ... The stories are brilliant, funny, and scary. This book is a major achievement." - Charles Baxter.
