Blood ties. The family we’ve been given, the friends we make, the loves we keep, and those we lost. The 26 stories in Family and Other Ailments teeter on the brink, hover at the periphery, or even the possibility, of crime. Under a soft light and at an angle, they're all love stories. The collection opens with “Spy Head”, a tale of friendship after a crushing trauma. In “Texas Two-Step”, brotherhood leads to a wicked double-cross. “Razorbills” shows a young woman seeking freedom from the prison-like caring of her sibling.

The soundtrack for Alabama is without question provided by our troubled troubadour Hank Williams. The 2016 biography Hank by Mark Ribowsky paints a dark picture of the musician's short, alcoholic, drug-filled life: a life of loneliness and pain. He goes so far as to call Hank's life story "noir-ish"....

To others, it’s a Gothic labyrinth of tiny streets to lose oneself in; hashish-clouded after-hours bars to forget the time; dimly lit plazas with global bohemians squatting, prostitutes tempting. But come morning, its cold cobblestones and misty beachfronts have even darker stories to tell.

Nel suo ambiente di scrittori e giornalisti lo chiamavano "macchina per scrivere storie". Infatti, nella sua vita non lunga, Scerbanenco ne scrisse qualche migliaio, disparati e dispersi per genere e formato, dal rosa al poliziesco, dal racconto per il rotocalco al volume romanzesco.

Di aspetto poco appariscente ma dotato di un acume straordinario, Padre Brown è di nuovo all'opera in un appassionante lavoro di analisi e decifrazione di crimini ed enigmi in apparenza insolubili, con le sue ironiche e talvolta assurde confutazioni, rigoroso e lucido nell'osservazione e nelle deduzioni e nel contempo profondamente umano.
