From the author of Gillis Huckabee comes Sean Conway's powerful
first collection of short stories. In storySouth Magazine's Million
Writer's Award-nominated "Scratch," a divorced man tries to control
a raging breakout of poison ivy while his personal life erupts
violently out of control. In "Ashes, Ashes" an unemployed laborer
is unable to look forward, so consumed by his role in devastating
events of the past. And in "January Thaw" a single mother struggles
to let go of the life she once envisioned for the uncharted path of
her present when her recently-widowed father moves in with her and
her young son.
Despite its title, The Slowpoke's Guide to Getting It Right is
not, in fact, a guide. It is not a how-to book. If anything, these
stories combine to form a how-not-to guide. Sean Conway's
characters distract themselves from facing truths; they blame
others for their own tragic decisions; they find themselves
suddenly unprepared, face-to-face with life situations that they
should have seen coming a mile away, but, like many of us, missed.
Like many of us-perhaps even all of us-they're slowpokes.
