About the Author
Reviews
Jim Naremore understands how hurt, insecurity, grief and guilt work on human beings. But the most important insight he reveals in his penetrating novel, "American Still Life," is also the one that goes unacknowledged in words: that art saves people. Without philosophizing or even seeming to think much about why, Naremore's troubled, slice-of-life characters naturally embrace creativity as a means of coping with their lives and expressing what they feel, but can't say. That their work blooms from the darkest of soils makes Naremore's story both harshly real and profoundly redemptive. Carolyn Jack, author of The Changing of Keys
In American Still Life, Jim Naremore skillfully examines the complexities of grief and loss. Through honest and sensitive storytelling, this novel delves into the ways we deal with-or are consumed by-life-changing adversity. With searing and lyrical prose, Naremore explores the aftermath of trauma and the ways we memorialize what we've lost. This is a thought-provoking and poignant read that is sure to leave a lasting impact on readers. Beth Castrodale, author of The Inhabitants.
