Publisher's Synopsis
This book will be a great and compelling reading experience, deeply moving, profoundly intelligent, and totally entertaining, including fiction and memoir about: * Brothers by choice, or from different families but closely bonded by shared experience, work, trauma, love and marriage. * Brothers who describe themselves as brothers in arms, blood brothers, a band of brothers, the brother I never had. The premise of Blauner's commentary and selections is that brothers and brotherhood is important, and crucial to understanding ourselves, our families, and our place in the world. Not a valentine but an edgy, challenging, confrontive and intimate psychological perspective with a big mix of tone, culture, and narrative style. The key is in the very high quality of the writers and their work.
