“Eric Bosse has somehow learned all our secrets, and now he’s put them on display in Magnificent Mistakes. With this cheerfully mordant collection, he takes it all on—God, patricide, deviant sex, jugglers with nothing left to live for—and doesn’t flinch once throughout. Not satisfied with being merely funny or incisive, though, Bosse also manages to conjure and illuminate a basic, abiding humanity, even as he catalogues his characters’ many failings, regrets, and peccadilloes.” Ron Currie Jr., author of God is Dead and Everything Matters!
“Readers will find these nineteen stories beautifully strange and evocative. Inhabited by oddballs, lovers, ghosts, and runaways, the world Bosse creates is full of the unexpected, of chance encounters, and the vast and moving struggles of misfiring hearts. A stunning collection.”Kathy Fish, author of Together We Can Bury It and Wild Life
