The Other Side of Silence is a collection of short fiction by award-winning writer George Harrar.
The stories include "The 5:22," which won the Carson McCullers Prize from Story magazine and was selected for the 1999 edition of Best American Short Stories. Also included are stories that appeared in Story Quarterly, Sideshow Anthology, Reed Magazine, DASH, Eclectic Literary Forum, and Gemini Magazine (prize-winner). "Chapter One" is the beginning of Blue Hour, a story of resilience by a boy in a wildly dysfunctional family. The novel is available for publication. A half-dozen new, unpublished stories complete the collection. "The 5:22" received dramatic readings at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Symphony Space in New York City and the Williamstown Theatre in Williamstown, Mass. It was also featured in the LiveWriters podcast read by actor LeVar Burton.
Praise for Fiction by George Harrar
The Spinning Man : "(An) elegant and unnerving mystery of psychological suspense...(Harrar is) a graceful and subtle writer." -- New York Times Book Review; "A taut psychological drama...blends the commonplace and the esoteric with exceptional ease." -- Boston Globe; "Suspenseful...plot and an unblinking look at the tensions of family life..."-- Washington Post
Reunion at Red Paint Bay: "Harrar skillfully echoes Alfred Hitchcock's theme about how a seemingly innocent man can be sucked into a disturbing vortex of forces that lie just below the surface of 'normal' life." -Kirkus Reviews; "Harrar is one of those writers on the verge of connecting with a much larger audience; this could be his moment." -Booklist
Parents Wanted: "A killer read."-Kirkus Reviews
