The people who inhabit Jerry Gabriel’s second collection of stories, The Let Go, strain against their historical moments. A poacher’s daughter, a disgraced vet, an out–of–work temp, a professor, a middle–school basketball ace: these are the Great Let Go in whose embattled existence we feel the impact of war, financial crises, and the many lesser perils that attend life. With equal measures of tenderness, ruthlessness, and humor, Gabriel illuminates an Ohio landscape—its cities, suburbs, and countryside—fraught with economic disparity, its characters facing their dilemmas with grief, with anger, but always exhibiting a surprising fortitude. In these seven taut stories, Gabriel writes hardship as a site of hope.

Poignant, understated fiction -- a gem of a collection By lscollison This second collection of short stories from the author of Drowned Boy, recipient of the Mary McCarthy Prize in Short Fiction, captured my attention from the very beginning. Each story is about a different character and situation, yet most of the people he writes about are somehow marginalized and struggling against the tide. His characters, his plain but evocative settings, his spare but freighted dialogue reveal the hidden corners of our humanity, shedding light on the longings, the desires, the want that we all know. He deals with issues -- bigotry, ignorance, social class, apathy – without ever mentioning them by name, without judgement, but with occasional gleams of wry humor. I identified with his narrators, felt their despair and their realization, their coming to terms with life. I finished the book and began to re-read, savoring little gems of description, characterization, and meaning.

By GoodDirt So many short stories out there can be classified as "melancholy" or "thought-provoking," but so few of them can also say that they rely on more than melancholy to be thought-provoking. These seven stories manage that, and the characters within them, as a whole, may not be struggling with anything you or I will ever struggle with, but we are left feeling as if we have something in common with them.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. An outstanding read from start to finish. By Jim Ruland Fantastic collection of long short stories that explores life's twists and turns with humor, wit and a touch of strangeness. Short stories are shorter than they were a decade ago; The Let Go bucks this trend with tales that are between 25 and 40 page but are deeply satisfying. I've been reading Gabriel's work for 20 years but all of these stories are new to me; an English tutor suffering from panic attacks falls for an the wife of a Korean scientist; a solider returns to Ohio from Desert Storm with an other than honorable discharge; a couple move into a house in the country only to discover that it sits above a miniature yet fully functioning factory. An outstanding read from start to finish.
