Tense, moody, and beautifully observed, the three short stories that comprise Wendell Mayo’s Burning Mount Diablo explore the inner lives of characters in the process of losing it all. An aduterer watches as wildfire grows closer to his home. An alcoholic artist bottoms out. A father who lost a son struggles to hold on to his wife. What’s left at the end of each story— really, what powers each of Mayo’s sentences— is an indelible soul and irrepressible humanity.
