The Walk: Stories

This deceivingly slender book of 13 short stories exhibits a talent entwined with the brawn of disciplined vision. Carefully crafted and quietly executed, these narratives pack an emotional wallop at a deep level. From a unique perspective on various aspects of life—ranging from a woman finding the courage to stand up to her neglectful husband to a group of friends mourning the loss of a common companion—Dayrit's stories illuminate love, loss, and the heavy spaces left in between.
