Your Father Sends His Love heralds the powerful American debut of a bold new literary talent.
Stuart Evers writes with uncanny psychological acuity. The inventive, elegant stories in Your Father Sends His Love illuminate the precarious and electrifying connections between parents and children. Evers’s unforgettable characters long to repair relationships that have faltered or that never quite began. A single father goes to jail for avenging a hate crime perpetrated against his gay son; a mother returns home to her husband and children after an affair; an aging grandfather mediates between his quarreling son and granddaughter; a man waits at the pub, frantically listing things he might say to a suffering friend.
With wit, subtlety, and uncommon sensitivity, Evers captures those pivotal moments between parents and children when emotions are urgently felt yet impossible to express. In this, he explores new realms of passion and estrangement. With his precise, energetic prose, Evers crafts a group of stories that explore familial love in all of its forms.

Review
“Wit is a precision weapon, and Stuart Evers is astonishingly precise. It takes an enormous and well-calibrated brain to put together a collection like Your Father Sends His Love. It is one of the funniest―savagely funny, tenderly funny―and therefore one of the most moving books I’ve read in a long time.” (Teju Cole)
“Proof that the story form remains in rude health. Quietly brilliant and moving.” (Ian Rankin)
“A thrillingly inventive collection of stories about alienation and longing and dread. Stuart Evers writes with great subtlety about all the ways we estrange ourselves from the people we love and about the rare moments of grace in which we somehow stumble home again.” (Jenny Offill)
“Evers’s everymen break my heart.” (Eimear McBride)

Some very skilled writing---not all hit the mark, but most have rewards for the careful reader.
By Suzanne Amara
This collection of stories requires and rewards careful reading. At the start of every story, I felt quite lost, like I'd been tossing into a situation mid-stream, but usually, by the end, I was glad to have been included in the experience. However, a few stories for me seemed to build up to a conclusion that never quite happened, or if it did, wasn't quite worth the trip. The two stories about comedians, the title story and "Live from the Palladium", fell into that category for me. They felt like elaborate shaggy dog stories.
At the best, these stories have a subtle hint of slipstream to them---the feeling that we are in a world not quite like our own. My favorite two stories were "Frequencies" and "Swarm". "Frequencies" tells of a baby monitor that seems to be delivering a monologue from the baby as an adult, and "Swarm" is about a world where you can pay to access the feelings and happenings of another person's life.
The stories have a very British feel and occasionally language and references that an American reader might not get. Sort of an aside, but I always wonder if there are many nasty, brutal young punks around England as novels and stories always seem to portray. The first story, "Lakelands", certainly has them in spades.
Perhaps the most powerful story in the bunch is "Something Else to Say", about men struggling to connect and share feelings after a tragedy. It's subtle and written with a lot of sympathy, showing how much someone can want to help a friend but not quite be able to.
Overall, this is a solid and well-written story collection.

Profound Understanding of a Father's Influence Is Evident Throughout These Short Stories ...
By delicateflower152
Ranging in length from 12 to 56 pages, “Your Father Sends His Love” includes twelve of Stuart Evers’ short stories. Each one focuses on some aspect of fatherhood; a father’s influence on a child – whether positive or negative; a father’s love – or lack of it; and the impact it makes on our lives. Written so that the reader feels some connection to the character or recognizes some aspect of their own life set out in the narrative, each story has a quiet power and a huge impact. The psychological nuances and the social mores detailed throughout the book will fascinate readers who value more subtle and cerebral storytelling.
Without providing detailed summaries of each story making up “Your Father Sends His Love”, brief synopses of several of them should whet your appetite for reading the book in its entirety. Lakelands, the first story in the book, describes – both past and present – the experience of Elliot, a gay man and his boyhood, his coming out to his blue-collar father, and his father’s unlikely, unexpected reaction. “…I love you to the ends of the earth …Tell me your news.” “…And he did.” “…To the ends of the earth, son …” In Frequencies, the book’s second offering, a young father who is enamored with his infant son overhears, through the baby monitor, an intercepted exchange between two men. To his chagrin, he learns that no matter how much a parent loves their child, the child, once grown, may have a still negative view of the parent. Farther into the book, Something Else to Say recounts the meeting of two friends in a bar and the difficulty of conversation between them as the result of the death of one of the men’s infant son. Uncomfortable with the situation and in order to expressing his discomfort, the narrator mentally continues to look for mundane, everyday topics of conversation.
Stuart Evers writes using a deep understanding of relationships and of the importance of a father’s love. His treatment of each character is sensitive and allows the reader to recognize and empathize with the individual and their situation. Each story is powerful, yet none “shout” their message. Rather, the reader is permitted form their own opinion of the characters and their interaction rather than the author telling the reader what to feel or think. If you enjoy skilled writing and the quiet strength of individuals dealing with everyday life, I encourage you to read “Your Father Sends His Love”.

Family Dysfunction
By Roger Brunyate
The dozen stories in this collection are loosely connected by the idea of family, but most of the families have troubles. The title piece, the longest in the book at 53 pages, features a "television personality," a clown who had his brief try at Hamlet then sank to famous mediocrity as the perpetual host of game shows. All this is background to his failure with his son, who takes to drugs, and eventually concocts a poetic revenge against his father. A father and son who barely speak are featured in another story, "These Are the Days," but this is offset by a rather beautiful relationship between the old man and his granddaughter, who is also having difficulties at home. Another father-son relationship is at the heart of "Lakelands," the opening tale, in which the protagonist remembers his father, a building worker who could never keep a job, but who stood up for him at a particular moment of crisis.
"Wings" is about a young woman who gets a tattoo in memory of her sister who died young, but conceals it from her husband until it makes both her and the reader look at the relationship in a new light. "Sundowners" also turns out to be about a marriage; though it starts out with an adulterous affair, its ultimate purpose is to focus on the woman's role as wife and mother. "Frequencies," which features a young father trying to cope with their baby while his wife is away on business, is one of the more positive stories, though it is diminished by the over-artificial device of having the baby monitor pick up some random radio program which the husband takes as a preview of his son's grown-up commentary on his childhood.
The settings are almost all British, which was an attraction for me. Otherwise, I think I would have been turned off by the generally depressing air sooner than I actually was. Evers is also quite adventurous technically, jumping around in time and delighting in delayed punchlines and oblique hints. I was kept afloat by his sheer skill, but few of these are stories I want to retain in my memory when all is said and done. [3.5 stars, rounded down]
