Assisted Living

Fiction. Lutz's new fictions dig deeper into the psyche of men and women grappling with making sense of their aging bodies and frantic but tired hearts, often living in towns where "all roads led to the one road that wasn't going where you wanted to go." Full of propulsive sentences and a humor made darker by his characters' sharp bitterness, ASSISTED LIVING is another dose of scathing sadness and comedy.
