The Dark Eclipse

On today’s 15 with the Author, Teri Knight talks with author A.W. Barnes about his book, The Dark Eclipse,  It is a book of personal essays in which Barnes seeks to come to terms with the suicide of his older brother, Mike. Using source documentation—police report, autopsy, suicide note, and death certificate—the essays explore Barnes’ relationship with Mike and their status as gay brothers raised in a large conservative family in the Midwest.  It is an eye-opening, honest look at selective memory, shared pain and the fraught relationship between men in all kinds of relationships including fathers and sons; brothers and male friendships. Andy is an engaging interview.  drawbarnes.com
