Tout vient mourir is the French translation of All WeWant is Everything, Andrew F. Sullivan's exceptionaldebut collection of short stories.
This collection finds the misused and forgotten, theplaces in between, the borderlands on the edgeof town where dead fields alternate with emptywarehouses-places where men and womenclutch tightly at whatever fragments remain. Motelsare packed with human cargo, while parole is justanother state of being. Christmas dinners becomebattlegrounds; truck cabs and bathroom stallstransform into warped confessionals; and stories aretold and retold, held out by people stumbling towardsone another in the dark.
Frightening, hilarious, filled with raging impotence andmoments of embattled grace, All We Want is Everythingis the advent of a tremendous new literary voice.
