Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'This is prime American fiction--tough, generous, and open-eyed.'--ALYSON HAGYMark Maynard's debut collection of linked short stories examines the characters of a town whose means and meanings are eroding away. In Grind, a homeless man wins the jackpot--and a large stack of pancakes ('Jackpot'); a prison inmate trains a horse toward life beyond the gates ('Penned'); a truck driver with the IQ of a child drives his empty rig up and down the interstate as an homage to his dead mother ('Deadheading'); a topless teen sunbathes on her roof as fighter planes careen overhead ('Sirens'); a grieving woman stores her breast milk behind the frozen peas ('Letdown'); and a pawnshop owner catalogues his wares by the natures of their violent pasts ('Trading Up'). In these stories, pleasure is cheap, heartbreak is a given, the past is dwindling away and the future is unsettlingly uncertain. Seller Inventory # 9781937226039
