“A man sits alone in a bar. A stranger enters and illuminates the dark shadows of his past, drawing him insistently towards the thing he has spent his life avoiding.

On the surface, Daniel Keene’s style is both simple and elusive. But its subterranean currents carry a deeply poetic human experience which permeates the world of its characters. His writing leaves room for us to interpret – and grapple with – the great mystery of who we are”.
