Summary
Summary
From the author of the Oprah Book Club Pick Dream State, an extraordinary debut collection of nine unforgettable stories—strikingly original, fiercely funny, and quietly heartbreaking—portraying a group of misfits attempting to navigate mainstream America.Writing from an impressive range of perspectives—men and women, children and adults, immigrants and tourists—Puchner deftly exposes the dark, tender undersides of his characters with arresting beauty and precision. Here are people fumbling for identity in a dehumanizing world, captured in moments that are hilarious, shocking, and transcendent, sometimes all at once. Unfailingly true, surprisingly moving, and impossible to forget, these stories make up an extraordinary and strikingly original collection.
