Leslie Liautaud

Black Bear Lake by Leslie Liautaud is almost a 1980s period piece, full off cassettes and feathered hair, told in an extended flashback to a family vacation when he was growing up. Adult Adam is looking back on the summer that changed everything, the issues he won’t talk with his wife about, the reason he’s in therapy exploring his past, so even as he describes an idyllic summer on the family lakeside, I couldn’t help worrying that each new page would be the event was the Very Bad Thing.
