Home of the Ashfall does not only continue the author's exploration of memoy's hidden layers, but also moves deeper down, almost touching bedrock. However, more than the deftly rendered humor in his narratives, Jack Wigley's insights-drawn from his keen empirical observation of himself and others in given situations-go deep into the human core in all of us, our exasperating, endearing imprefections. As Wigley's stories exemplify and evoke, we could rekindle the embers that light up the maze of memory. And we could track our way back to the core inhabited by the hopeful aspect of the persons we are: not perfect, but totally vulnerable to its human possibility.
