"Varallo takes simple situations and creates larger truths." --Library Journal "Varallo says his stories are driven by a love of ordinary life, yet the 14 stories in this collection are anything but ordinary . . . A beautifully written collection filled with the familiar. We understand these characters because they are our friends, our children, and ourselves. In this extraordinary collection, we see ordinary life." --Mid-American Review "The stories in Out Loud are just awfully damn good. They are the work of a very talented and accomplished writer. The book is even greater than the sum of its parts." --Scott Turow
Feeling distanced from her friends and family, middle-aged divorcee Caitlin Drury is encouraged by her daughter to express her feelings in a diary, but she is hesitant: ""I feel lonely she wrote, then crossed it out. She didn't like the idea of someone coming along later to read her journal, finding out she felt lonely."" ""Like That,"" and other stories from Anthony Varallo's new collection ""Out Loud"" give voice to the disconnections of family and relationships, and the silent emotions that often speak louder than words.In ""The Walkers,"" we follow a couple on their daily trek through a bedroom community, where they partially glimpse their neighbors' lives, longing for inclusion. Yet their insular lifestyle ensures that they deal with people only on the surface - without learning the truth of their problems.""Out Loud"" tells of longings for meaningful expression and the complexities and escapism of human interactions that keep us from these truths. Varallo uses the trials of youth and remembrances of the past, the rituals and routines of the everyday, the interactions of family, friends, teachers, and neighbors to peel away the layers of language and actions we use to shield ourselves.
