In this deeply affecting, beautifully crafted collection of short fiction, Bret Lott broadens his stylistic range, striking a surprisingly surreal tone with stark, hyperrealistic prose. As story after dazzling story deliberately takes you down a deceptively ordinary path, the arresting center of each startles your unsuspecting sensibility.

Among the narrative gems is ?Family,? in which a husband and wife bicker incessantly before realizing that their two children are missing, only to discover them in a surprising place?and in a disturbing condition. In ?Everything Cut Will Come Back,? a long-distance phone call between two brothers takes a turn when their own tragic past crackles over the line. In ?History,? a widow thinks she spots her son at the airport and is left instead with a simple memory of her late husband that resolves her grief. The innocence of three boys is lost when they witness a devastating winter tragedy in ?The Train, the Lake, the Bridge.?

Within these pages, adulterers are unceremoniously caught, epiphanies arrive during bizarre encounters, and characters move through everyday moments with a fortitude that elevates these stories almost to mythical status. Without a stroke of false sentimentality, The Difference Between Women and Men will leave you strangely shaken?and ever aware of the odd permutations of humankind.
