Clayton's newest collection are luminous, expressing a struggle to see growth and meaning in life as much as possible. Nearly all focus on family, and the characters, most of them Jewish, grapple with questions of living, dying, loving, and worshipping. Clayton has published several novels, including Mitzvah Man (TTUP, 2011), but he is best known for his critically-acclaimed short fiction, which have been included in O. Henry Prize Stories, Best American Short Stories, and Pushcart Prize anthologies. His collection Radiance was a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award. The ten stories in Many Seconds into the Future were written after Clayton's collected stories were published in Wrestling with Angels in 2007. Many of these new stories originally were published in Commentary and some in literary magazines. Some are appearing for the first time. They are masterful stories of spiritual questing, emotional depth, and often great humor"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Many Seconds into the Future -- Getting Out in One Piece -- The Name Changer -- Dreams of Freedom -- A Man in Thrall -- Reading to Jacob -- Straps and Boxes -- The Good Father -- All the Children Are Isaac -- The Camera Eye. 650 7 $a FICTION / Jewish. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Short Stories (single author). $2 bisacsh 650 0 $a Short stories, Jewish. 655 0 $a Jewish fiction. 830 0 $a Modern Jewish literature and culture (Lubbock, Tex.) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180125020656.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6EC343104DE711E4A85DE8D9DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
