Synopsis
If you can laugh at—or with—Minnesotans, this is your book.
In Glass Houses, George Rabasa offers nineteen stories, generously infused with irony, compassion, and an edgy wit. From the deceptively tranquil lull of a suburban street, to the incessant buzz of a Midwestern city, to the fragility of rural American, this book reveals people we know: our husbands, wives, and children, our neighbors and our co-workers. Here, at last illuminated, are our familiar modern fears: of jobs dissolving, neighborhoods being contaminated, relationships demanding too much or not giving enough, values collapsing, and illusions vanishing. Humorous and unsettling, Glass Houses is a rich collection of stories about the delicate balance of our not-so-private contemporary lives and our ardent attempts to keep the structure sound.
