Following the success of his first book, Half-Past Nowhere (CPCC Press,v2008) ,Joseph Cavano has written another that promises to be even more popular.
Love Songs in Minor Keys is a tightly written collection of related short stories which takes a close look at love,"broadly defined." A sometime Jazz pianist, the author knows very well the power of minor keys. At times exotic, often surprising, they are most powerful when combined with other more familiar sounds; which is what he has done here. The new and the familiar. The dark and the bright .Each blended in such a way as to create a most interesting music. (Jacket commentary from Dr.David Geherin, 2009 nominee for the Edgar Allan Poe Award for a best book of literary criticism ,and Dr. Anthony Abbott,former nominee for the Pulitzer prize for poetry and popular novelist.)
