One of the most acclaimed and original story collections of the
last decade, Peter Orner's first book explores the brief but
far-reaching occasions that haunt us.
The discovery of a murdered man in a bathrobe by the side of a
road, the destruction of a town's historic City Hall building, and
the recollection of a cruel wartime decision are equally affecting
in Orner's vivid and intimate gaze. The first half of the book
concerns the lives of unrelated strangers across the American
landscape, and the second introduces two very different Jewish
families, one on the East Coast, the other in the Midwest. Yet
Orner's real territory is memory, and this book of wide-ranging and
innovative stories remains an important and unique contribution to
the art of the American short story.
