About this ebook
Thirteen sharp, poignant stories detailing the almost panicked angst of the American generation as they approach thirty, from the New York Times bestselling author of Among the Missing
“Remarkable . . . solid, moving, and pitch-perfect . . . Each story is a marvel of complexity, dense with meaning and nuance.”—The Cleveland Plain Dealer
Struggling with gaps between youthful expectations and adult experiences, these characters long for understanding and acceptance—but are thwarted by failed love, family disruptions, numbing work, and sexual confusion.
Hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as “one of those writers who possesses an uncanny and seemingly otherworldly understanding of the human condition,” Dan Chaon is a promising voice in fiction—and this collection showcases his unique talent.
