Book and Pulitzer Prize nominated author Wayne Johnson comesOn the
Observation Car, a brilliant new collection of stories-comedic,
surprising, and delightful. From a portrait of a colorfully
ingenious boy who, after being abandoned by his mother, finds
himself in a strange and dangerous new world, to a searing
examination of the effects of what once was called "racial
prejudice" in "Eighty Acres," these stories grip the imagination
with a rare and powerful clarity. Originally published
inPloughshares, New Letters, Glimmer Train, and elsewhere, these
award-winning storiesare about the issues that are essential to us
all: how we find the courage to live; how we acquire freedom,
despite the costs; and how we love. All of Johnson's stories,
rendered through a sharp-eyed realism, take us into a world that
touches the very heart of the human condition."
