"Eat Your Heart Out is a collection of short stories about dreamers, losers and love-lost souls. Thematically, its about heartbreak. The array of characters (from a sixteen-year-old autistic savant who’s sleeping with his best friend’s mother, a tattooed beauty dealing with a sudden death, to a newspaper man forever changed by a tender drifter) all have one thing in common; they’re lost. With unsentimental prose, ironic dialogue and fragile relationships, the collection looks at why people love how they do. The stories address issues of courage, compassion, belief, hope and the absolute loneliness of the human condition. Bold, poignant and affecting, Eat Your Heart Out is a clear-eyed exploration of youth, life, love, sex, death and God."
