About this title

Review:

"I have long been in awe of Gordon Weaver's stories, and with this collection we have at hand the best of a contemporary literary master. These stories cut true to the bone, each one carrying with it the weight and scope few contemporary novels can bear."--Bret Lott

"Everybody who knows and cares about the American short story has known and admired the work of Gordon Weaver for a long time. He has long since proved himself to be a master of clarity, compassion, and high energy. His situations are gripping; his characters matter and are memorable; his architecture is impeccable."--George Garrett
