To one's dismay, the man in the green suit shows up only briefly, though that is one of the most interesting moments in this series of interconnected tales about Peter Sackrider and his family. Peter and his sister Alex love and lose many times but gain no wisdom in the process. The family dynamics, which also involve their parents, are present but simply not expanded upon sufficiently. Peter lusts after every woman who comes his way, including the wife of his old friend, and on and on it goes. There are interludes of good writing here, but the mostly immature text is reminiscent of bad sitcoms, with only hints of better to come. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

This edition of Dwight Allen's acclaimed story collection, The Green Suit, ends with a new story, rounding out a dozen interlinked tales about a well-to-do Kentucky family called the Sackriders. The stories cover a period of forty years, from the Vietnam War to the Age of Foreclosure. Chief among the Sackriders is Peter, son of a judge and a vitamin-pill-popping mother, brother to a sister whose troubles with boys take her far from Kentucky. He is a writer perhaps more in love with women (and, intermittently, men) than he is with words, whose eagerness to be loved leads him into alarming circumstances. He is a man with a yearning for transcendence and a penchant for betrayal. The new story finds Sackrider in his mid-fifties, married for a second time, the father of a small child, and all tangled up with his next-door neighbor, an artist who likes to use the corpses of animals in his collages.
