How the Losers Love Whats Lost [Paperback]

In his prize-winning debut, How the Losers Love Whats Lost, Frank stares, unflinchingly, into the many faces of disappointment and loss: loss of control, perspective, position, a loved one, the self. Exploring a variety of received forms, he inhabits persona after persona of outsiders, both loser and witness for the lost. Frank is a sly cartographer of this landscape steeped with human failings and lushly populated by the losers who try to live, even thrive, within it.

The one gone thing goes on being gone.

PATRICK RYAN FRANK lives in Austin, where he is the managing editor of the Bat City Review.
