In Flesh Wounds, there's not much nature of the Wordsworthian rainbow and daffodil variety, little flora and less fauna, just a few houseplants and a couple of dogs. That's about it. It's the story of a midwestern family. There are no waterfalls, no mountains, no killer storms. A big blizzard is predicted but never materializes. If pressed about setting, I would be tempted to say, like Raymond Carver, that most of my fiction takes place indoors and leave it at that. Maybe I'm nature impaired. Like one of my characters who is a confirmed and unrepentant garbage-snatcher, my heart leaps up when I behold a rickety rocking chair, a discarded child's desk. I am fascinated by the homely artifacts of everyday life, by the stories they tell. House-hunting with my wife several years ago, I proved utterly incapable of making any sensible judgments about the structure we examined: I was too distracted by the pictures on the mantel and the artwork on the fridge, by the posters and trophies in the bedroom, by the bedside books. I was too busy trying to imagine the lives lived in the house, feeling heavy sometimes with the particular heartacheillness, divorce, old agethat put a house on the market. Truth be told, I am more interested in the contents of a junk drawer that I am a cloud formation; I'd rather poke around your attic than stare at a sunset; if I listen to warblers warble too long, I get bored, which never happens when I am eavesdropping on the subway, say, gathering up snippets of overheard conversations. These are scraps of narrative, pieces of a lifethe stuff of humanity. It may be garbage to you, Bernie Beerman, my trash man in Minnesota, used to tell me. But it's my bread and butter.

12. Bold Type: Excerpt By Mick Cochrane An excerpt from the novel by mick cochrane. http://www.randomhouse.com/boldtype/0997/cochrane/excerpt.html

He made the light on Fifty-fourth, but was held up at the on-ramp of 35W behind a blonde applying mascara in the rearview mirror. Finally, he got on the freeway. He headed north, against the rush hour traffic, into the Minneapolis suburbsCoon Rapids, Anoka, Elk River, where he used to stop for pancakes with Geoff on their way up to Mille Lacs to go fishing. He turned on the radio and set the cruise control and tried to think. What was happening? One fine day there had been a gray-haired policewoman in pants at the door, a uniformed stranger with a spiral notebook. She sat on the couch and smiled demurely, like the Avon lady. She cleared her throat and talked about agencies and reports, authorities and procedures, a preliminary investigation, so roundabout at first he thought his granddaughter was dead. And then she told him it was him. The more they talkedhow many ways can you say, I don't know what you're talking about?the more she treated him like a criminal. She didn't know the first thing about him. And when she finally left, her eyes scanning the room, studying the photos on the mantel, looking for something suspicious, promising she would be back, his heart was beating in his chest like an angry fist. His daughter Eleanor was making accusations now, too. She had always been an imaginative child. She used to play alone in her room for hours and hours, inventing names and personalities for all her dolls and stuffed animals. She had a flair for the dramatic, was a sidesplitting mimic of her teachers, easily slipped into the speech and mannerisms of the people she was around. And she loved to performdances, puppet shows, and especially playswhich she would write and direct and star in, drafting her brothers and sister and him, too, into supporting roles, handing them neatly typed scripts complete with stage directions and pauses for laughter and applause. He could remember roaring and rattling tire chains as Marley's ghost one Christmas. And now her life was not turning out the way that she wantedwhose did?and she needed a villain, and she'd assigned him the part.

Introduction Mick Cochrane Jennifer Natalya Fink Karen Hwa ... Saltonstall Foundation Mick Cochrane The Lenny Green Story As I watched or listened to the games, I always charted his performance on lined notebook paper using a primitive scoring system of my own devising. In alley softball games, though I never revealed it, I was I heard the news on a Saturday afternoon. I was in the front yard, pitching a rubber ball against the house with a transistor radio on the steps blaring out the pre-game show. Knowing exactly which bricks constituted the strike zone, I pitched to batter after batter, either striking them out or walking them. I had a perfect game going in the fourth inning against the Yankees and a full count on Tom Tresh when I heard. Though I understood the idea of trades, realized that players frequently switched teams, knew that Lenny himself was a former Indian, still, though I understood all that, I was stunned for a moment. It took a while to assign a meaning to the words. In the sports section the next day, there was a story about Lenny Green, giving the highlights of his career, such as they were, saying he was the best defensive centerfielder the Twins ever had. He was a gentleman, the story said, he had been a credit to the organization. For a few days afterwards, I checked the box scores to see how he was doing. He never broke into the starting line-up, only pinch running occasionally. After a while, I forgot to check.

Introduction About the Author Author Interview Discussion Questions ... more guides FLESH WOUNDS by Mick Cochrane INTRODUCTION Flesh Wounds , Mick Cochrane's lucid portrait of an American family caught in crisis, begins from the point of view of Hal Lamm, a salesman who is being arrested for the molestation of his thirteen-year-old granddaughter Becky. But what begins as Hal's story becomes that of his wife, his children, and his grandchildren the people who have most suffered the consequences of his actions, and the ones forced to come to terms with their knowledge. By the end of the book, in fact, Hal seems to have all but faded from view, not just for the reader, but for his family, most of whom have come to make peace with their conflicted feelings toward him. More than a story about incest though, Flesh Wounds is largely a book about family relations, and the tangled, tender, painful, ambivalent nature of our feelings toward those who have both loved us the most and hurt us the most. How, for instance, can Hal's grown-up daughter Ellie also a victim of Hal's sexual abuse find a way not only to forgive an emotionally absent mother who turned a blind eye to her husband's misdeeds, but ultimately to forge a warm and loving relationship with her? How can his grown son Cal begin to connect with his anger toward his father enough to physically assault the aging, defenseless Hal only after the birth of his daughter? And how do different members of the family respond to such a resounding crisis, especially when it will force them either to reshape the way they feel about themselves and those related to them, or to reject the notion so vehemently as Maureen and Geoff do that they must constantly ward off reality in order to keep their beliefs intact.
