In the novella \"Donnaiolo,\" for instance, the parents of a young divorcée who has returned from Italy and a failed marriage must deal with the completely different, and unappealing, person she has become. In \"Isolation,\" a happily married woman who has con­ceived an unexpected passion for another man learns, in lockdown during the pandemic, that this man--into whose life Bausch also gives us a window--has become ill with Covid. In a second novella, \"Broken House,\" an elderly Catholic man recalls his part in the destruction of an old farmhouse by altar boys who believed a monk had given them permission to destroy it--while also portraying his lifelong fascination with one of the boys, a gifted artist who has carried a secret for decades about the church they both wanted to serve as priests. And in still another story, \"The Widow's Tale,\" a woman whose recently killed husband repeatedly visits her younger sister in dreams attends a séance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThroughout \u003ci\u003eThe Fate of Others, \u003c\/i\u003eBausch once again exposes the virtues and flaws of his characters, remind­ing us, as the best stories do, of ourselves and people we know, and the lives we lead.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRICHARD BAUSCH has produced nine other volumes of stories, and is a widely acknowledged master of the form.
