anthologies,contemporary,literature and fiction,short stories, Christopher Tilghman is often mentioned in the same breath as John Cheever or William Maxwell--American masters who have mapped the difficult terrain of domestic life. Pretty exalted company, but Tilghman more than holds his own in the novel Mason's Retreat and the short-story collection In a Father's Place. The Way People Run is yet another example of both his skill as a stylist and his insight into the workings of everyday life. In "Something Important" Peter Randall is lured by his older brother Mitch to a family cottage in the Chesapeake country. The two men haven't seen each other in several years and their relationship has never been close. Yet when, in the course of the two days they spend together, Peter discovers that his brother knows something that he doesn't about his own marriage, it is Mitch who offers comfort: Peter felt that hand and heard these words, and both of them helped. This boat he sat on, it was Mitch's idea of a gift, not coming empty-handed to the hospital room, no need to sit around getting maudlin for Christ's sake. Peter thumped on the desk and looked up at Mitch. "Thanks for this," he said. "Room for Mistakes" follows Hal from his failing bank job in Boston back to the family ranch in Montana after the death of his mother whom he had loved "as his mother had loved him, from a distance." What starts out as a temporary pilgrimage home soon becomes a tangle of emotions and ghosts as Hal must.

In THE WAY PEOPLE RUN, Christopher Tilghman returns to his beloved home terrain: the matters of the heart, our most difficult truths, and the quiet, rugged regions of Chesapeake Bay and the American West. Compared by critics to Fitzgerald, Styron and Faulkner, Tilghman works his subtle emotional magic on the rough and reflective characters in these long stories. In the title piece, chosen by Robert Stone for the Best American Short Stories, a man goes west in search of a new job, only to find his hold on his family slipping in the process. In "Something Important" a man reunites with his long-lost brother, and discovers a dark truth about his own wife. And in "Things Left Undone," chosen by Tobias Wolff for the Best American Short Stories, a young couple struggles to survive a shattering tragedy.
