Hollis Clayton is in trouble. Still haunted by his small son s death, stalled in his writing career and over fond of the bottle, he finds himself abandoned by his wife for the summer - or, if he doesn t shape up, for good. But without his emotional anchor, Hollis continues to unravel. Besides, he s busy spying on the neighbours and sharing his meals with a stray dog. When is he going to find the time to get his life back on track?

Here, in the daily rhythms of Hollis s disintegrating life, lies an evisceratingly comic portrait of suburban despair. With this deeply affecting tale of grief and renewal, Elizabeth H. Winthrop makes a striking debut.

Elizabeth H.Winthrop was born and raised in New York City. She graduated from Harvard University in 2001 with a BA in English and American Literature and Language, and in 2004 she received her Master of Fine Arts in fiction from the University of California. Her stories have appeared in a variety of publications including the Missouri Review and the Indiana Review, but FIREWORKS is her first novel. She lives in Savannah, Georgia.
