Overview. Following his widely acclaimed Project X and Love and Hydrogen —“Here is the effect of these two books,” wrote the Chicago Tribune: “A reader finishes them buzzing with awe”—Jim Shepard now gives us his first entirely new collection in more than a decade. Like You’d Understand, Anyway reaches from Chernobyl to Bridgeport, with a host of narrators only Shepard could bring to pitch-perfect life. Like You’d Understand, Anyway is a collection of 11 short stories that each draw from a deep well of strained familial relations, namely brother-to-brother. Naturally, Shepard dedicated the book to his real-life brother. The Great Australian Desert, Chernobyl, Beaumont, Texas, the plain of Marathon and “the roof of the world,” Tibet’s Kunlun Mountains and the Trans-Himalayas—Shepard (Project X, , etc.) seems to have been everywhere. Readers will feel that they have too after a saturation in his terrific third collection.
