After a new friend disappears from her life, and as autumn deepens and the year's end closes in, she journeys into her community and the places and histories binding them all-and haunting her-until she arrives at what is most important while hoping her friend returns. Rich with characters and locations, as well as personal and public chronicles, \u003cem\u003eOctober\u003c\/em\u003e is a moving and compassionate meditation on life, love, memory, and death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEvery day, I move between Saul and Ray. And although Ray has been gone for a while and I live alone, I am never alone because he and our images when we were together and Saul and his image have me. One photo greets me, like a face in a crowd, and the other image, more familiar over time, also comes and goes. Both photos have been with me at peaks, in valleys, and on the plains in between. I pass by them daily and nightly, month to month, but I should only have one.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliam Auten is the author of the novels \u003cem\u003eIn Another Sun\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ePepper's Ghost \u003c\/em\u003eand the short-story collection \u003cem\u003eA Fine Day Will Burn Through\u003c\/em\u003e.
