A 15-year-old girl in Cleveland has an affair with an older man, her mother's friend. Years later the emotional fallout will echo in unexpected ways through the lives of people close to her. A first novel.
Only the Little Bone
This stunning collection of short stories, by one of America's finest craftsman of the form, focuses on themes of coming of age in 1950's rural Virginia. Each of the seven stories follows the central character, Reed Bryant, through the difficult emotional passages between childhood and adulthood, with all its complexities and confusions. Huddle's voice is clear and sympathetic, wry and unflinching, rendering memories into an elegy for a time and place that can never be returned to.This edition includes a new forward by the author, who, more than twenty years after the book's release, reflects upon the significance of writing about one's past, and how it has affected and supported what has become a long and much-lauded career.
Glory River
In Glory River, David Huddle’s poems pit precise observation, extravagant language, and humor against despair in an attempt to find a way to live in a new century in which the values of the past are dissolving and those of the future are frightening. Huddle opens with a sequence of exceptional tales about an imaginary hamlet in the mountains of Virginia. The residents of Glory River are rough, crude, and full of fight, but eager to tell their stories, “to explain how / in that place they had become the people / they were.” Huddle also includes a series of poems exploring modern life, touching upon subjects as diverse as memory, family, art, politics, and pain. Accessible and often humorous, the poems in Glory River range from the strange and extraordinary happenings in the fantastical Virginia town to the painful, hopeful, and no less magical situations that can occur in real lives.

Nothing Can Make Me Do this
Can we ever truly know another person, however well loved? Brainy, decent, funny, and likeable, the members of Horace Houseman's family and his closest friend possess many-layered inner lives that they reveal to no one else. David Huddle's tenth work of fiction enters the minds of Horace, Eve, Hannah, Clara, Bill, and others, leaping back and forth across fifty years and intersecting the vantage points in a kaleidoscopic vision of a contemporary clan (and their secrets. Julia Alvarez says, "Huddle takes us into the intimate heart of a family, the desires that we keep from each other and often from ourselves. He has the courage and skill to . . . bring to light our loneliness and our longing." Howard Frank Mosher says, "Huddle shows us how love, in all its wondrous forms, from lasting friendship to the most intensely passionate sexuality, defines our common humanity."
Grayscale
In his compelling new collection, David Huddle writes, “We think / we stand in the vivid color of here and now / and view the past as drab black and white, / whereas the truth is — it’s our future / that’s the off-center, badly focused grayscale.” Spiraling between the tenses of time, David Huddle creates in these vibrant poems a defense against the encroachment of age through the resources of language and memory, imagination and art. Moments recollected—and admittedly embellished—from his own life and family seem appealingly familiar: a teenage dance, Grandmama’s morning coffee, young daughters playing dolls. With age, wonder has become understanding, and so when intimations...
