Synopsis

THE LOGIC OF FLESH and other stories is a gathering of new and previously uncollected stories with a wide selection of voices, characters and perspectives all united by Midwestern rural and urban setting from the 1940's through the 1970's. Th e stories range for graphic realism to the lyrical and poetic, from the colloquial to the reflective and satiric. Off beat and idiosyncratic, the characters occupy a world apart from main stream fiction and will strike the reader as refreshingly original.
