About the Book
MEMORIES OF FIRE is a collection of short stories that span a lifetime. It includes two story cycles, DAME AMERICA and WHITE SAMBO, plus other tales that have been published in magazines and anthologized, some of which have been Listed and on the Role of Honor in THE BEST AMERICAN SHORT STORIES. By turns terrifying and humorous, all are deftly conceived, stylistically brilliant, and richly insightful. Sweet’s narratives probe — with the efficiency of a Roto-Rooter — the drama inherent in the courageously examined life.
