Nothing Falls from Nowhere

The narratives throughout Gary Finckes Nothing Falls from Nowhere contain events told by an ordinary person caught up in the mundane action of day to day living but preoccupied by the dismal prospects life has to offer. These shocking accounts become both central and peripheral to the narrative, as Fincke portrays the fluctuating emotions and self-protective reflections of fathers, sons, and husbands, creating a world where individuals infrequently comprehend the actions of others, yet often attain salvation during moments of compassion, acceptance, resolution, and dissolution of love.
