“Poignant and wise” – LA Times

The Middle-Aged Man and the Sea

by Christopher Meeks

4.5 stars – 20 Reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
Here’s the set-up:
Here is a story collection about love, death, humor, and the glue called family. In one narrative, a man wakes up one morning to find the odor of dead fish won’t go away, but no one else can smell it. In another, a couple’s visit with friends to watch the Academy Awards has the protagonist envying his friends’ lawn and lifestyle. In these and eleven other stories, Christopher Meeks balances tragedy and wit. As novelist David Scott Milton explains, “In this collection, Christopher Meeks examines the small heartbreaks of quiet despair that are so much a part of all our lives. He does it in language that is resonant, poetic, and precise…. If you like Raymond Carver, you’ll love Meeks. He may be as good–or better.”

Reviews

“So stunning…that I could not help but move on to the next story.” –Entertainment Weekly

“The Middle-Aged Man and the Sea is highly recommended, highly entertaining, and highly rewarding reading.” –The Midwest Book Review

“If the publishing and reading wrold is fair and just, Christopher Meeks is destined to be widely read and deservedly honored.” –Carolyn Howard Johnson, MyShelf.com

“No matter how difficult or heavy the burden depicted, these stories end on a note of resilience… Deeply authentic.” — Los Angeles Times, January 2, 2006

“Exceptionally entertaining and thought-provoking!” —Raging Bibliomania
“A polished gem from a gifted artist” —critic Grady Harp

Months and Seasons is the follow-up story collection to Christopher Meeks’s award-winning The Middle-Aged Man and the Sea. With a combination of main characters from young to old and with drama and humor, the tales pursue such people as a supermodel who awakens after open-heart surgery, a famous playwright who faces a firestorm consuming the landscape, a reluctant man who attends a Halloween party as Dracula, and a New Yorker who thinks she’s a chicken.

“Christopher Meeks’s quirky stories are lyrical and wonderfully human. Enjoy,” says Sandra Tsing Loh, author of A Year in Van Nuys.)

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Poetry and short story collections are two of the hardest writing to sell. With this collection, Christopher Meeks proves there’s an audience for short stories.” –Gary Roen, Midwest Book Review

“Meeks heightens his comedy with a dash of heartbreak–the closer we are to heartbreak, the more we laugh.” –Steven Allred, The Short Review.

“With this newest collection of compelling short stories, Meeks teaches us to learn what we already know.” –Diana Raabe, The Raabe Review

“The stories in MONTHS AND SEASONS are like potato chips; you can’t read just one.” Marc Schuster, Small Press Reviews

“Full of complete randomness and quirkiness, ingredients I cherish, the stories in this twelve-story collection chronicle the eccentricities of an array of diverse characters who are dealing with the life thrown at them in the only way actually possible: by dealing with their problems, not escaping them.” –Rachel Dufor, Rebecca’s Reads

From the Back Cover

“If the object of art is to capture the reality of the human condition one glimpse at a time, then Christopher Meeks succeeds gloriously. His stories are delightful and heart-rending, surprising and eerily familiar–chronicles, all, of the epic battles fought by ordinary characters one day at a time.” –author Gina B. Nahai, Caspian Rain
