"Little Reef and Other Stories" announces the arrival of an
original voice in literature. From Key West to Maine, Michael
Carroll's debut collection of stories depicts the lives of
characters who are no longer provincial but are not yet
cosmopolitan. These women and their gay male friends are
"B-listers" of a new, ironic, media-soaked culture. They live in a
rich but increasingly divided America, a weirdly paradoxical
country increasingly accepting of gay marriage but still marked by
prejudice, religious strictures, and swaths of poverty and
hopelessness. Carroll shows us people stunned by the shock of the
now, who have forgotten their pasts and can't envision a
future.
