By the author of Working Stiff, this collection of eleven short stories rips into Rustbowl Detroit with John Richards' usual switchblade precision, humor and an hallucinatory prose. The stories in The Pigeon Factory are accompanied by fourteen photographs by Ralph Norris which fit the stories and place like a glove.
