Items related to Eating Naked: Stories
Here Stephen Dobyns, peerless chronicler of the menace and unease that lurk in small-town America, turns his attention to the dark, inescapable forces that test the patience, fidelity and good sense of the most ordinary people. The sixteen stories in EATING NAKED range from surreal to poignant, from chilling to comic. At the centre of them all are men and women challenged by their own uncontrollable, illogical natures: poets with free-floating guilt, spouses with unacceptable sexual compulsions, farmers with mid-life crises, gas men with erratic timetables. Sharp, funny and profound, EATING NAKED gets to the heart of a world in which order and reason rarely prevail.
