内容简介 Set in the small towns and outlands of the American West, Claire Davis's fiction has been anthologized, published in our most respected literary magazines, and widely praised as some of the truest, most affecting prose about this region in decades. Labors of the Heart demonstrates the breadth of her talent, insight, and empathy. "Adultery" follows a middle-aged man who learns that his mother is cheating on her new husband. In "Grounded," a mother doggedly follows her son as he tries to run away along Montana's highways. And in the title story, a lonely man is literally struck by love for a woman he sees at the supermarket.
These stories, from the beloved author of Winter Range and Season of the Snake, trace the hidden longings of seemingly stoical people, seeking out the rifts and ruptures in their quiet lives.

媒体推荐 "Claire Davis writes beautiful stories. Let's get that much out there right away. Her new collection,
Labors of the Heart, is filled with gems, plot lines and characters that stick with you long after you have put the book down."--
The Oregonian "Davis's lyrical prose breathes startled life into the everyday problems of everyday people. . . . Tenderly and acutely illuminates the longings and desperations of the wretchedly imperfect human heart."--
Missoula Independent "The prose is lovely. . . . Though these are quiet crises, they will echo long in the minds of readers."--
Booklist "An excellent debut collection of short stories; many portray small-town life in the Northwest with grit and nuance."--
