Sweater Girl and Other Tales of Mondauk County is a collection of
novellas and stories that explores the condition of morbid
nostalgia: being so bound to the past that it poisons the present
and chokes the future. In the novella "Sweater Girl," a man combs
through the ashes of a teenage party that took place forty years
ago, looking for clues to what had transpired, including arson, an
amputation, and the death of his father, while obsessing on the
party's catalyst, an enthralling young sweater girl. Plus...a
retired romance novelist faces her fears of intimacy in a most
radical fashion...a cult member becomes consumed with an underage
girl...a loner signs up for a spelling bee to impress a popular
girl on the eve of an assault on the school...as a weary detective
hunts the Red Ribbon Killer, a grandmother confronts the secret in
her shed...an ex-boxer squares off against a mob capo when his wife
disappears...a man finds a radio broadcasting from his past in the
abandoned Divine Lorraine Hotel...and after his hand gets stuck to
a girl's hair with paste, a giant of a boy is hunted by a vengeful
mob.
