The Woman Who Lost Her Soul Hardcover

by Bob Shacochis

  He wanted to return to Mirogoj, he said, to the cemetery, there was something there Ev should see, he wanted them to see it together and say the requiescat and be at peace with all of this and then they were walking to the vehicle, his hand on Chambers’s shoulder, opening the door for him, and it struck Eville Burnette as merciless, an existential blow, a man condemned forever to chase the imperiled verities, that this is what we forget about our hearts, that they are with us, that they are there.
