Robert Wexelblatt Publishes Novella, Losses
Robert Wexelblatt, Boston University College of General Studies professor of humanities, has published a new novella, Losses (Vagabondage Press, August 2012). The publisher describes the story:
How valid are the claims of a father against those of a mother? When they clash, what becomes of their child? A single father who is a new IRS agent, his cherished and imaginative little girl, a divorced woman having second thoughts about motherhood, a couple who think two ways about becoming parents,‹ these are the people from whose relationships, enterprises, gains, and losses this story is woven.
An accomplished fiction writer, Wexelblatt’s essays, stories, and poems have appeared in a wide variety of journals. He has also published two story collections, Life in the Temperate Zone and The Decline of Our Neighborhood, and a book of essays, Professors at Play. His most recent book, the novel Zublinka Among Women, was awarded First Grand Prize for Fiction and First Prize for General Fiction/Novel by the Indie New Generation Book Awards.
The New York Times Book Review describes Wexelblatt’s stories as loaded with wit, bristling irony, draped in erudition and studded with metaphysics.
