Almost Gone: A Novel-In-Stories

Brian Sousa's debut collection of interlocking stories depicts the Portuguese American experience from a new perspective; alternately gritty, suspenseful, and illuminating.

Brian Sousa leaves sentiment and saudade behind in Almost Gone, a linked collection spanning four generations of a Portuguese immigrant family. In this hardscrabble world, the youth struggle with the secrets left behind by their elders, just as their parents fought through the pain and joy of assimilation. Told through various perspectives, Almost Gone is a working-class tale of survival that finds no easy answers, but cuts straight to the bone.
