Short Stories from the bestselling author of The Outsiders, plus
exclusive interviews A teenager when she first gained fame, now a
seasoned writer, S. E. Hinton takes her trademark themes to a new
level in Some of Tim's Stories - fourteen original stories
depicting adults trapped in lives of missed connections and
opportunities. The stories in this collection merge into a larger
narrative about two cousins, Terry and Mike, whose lives and
families are intertwined but whose paths lead to very different
futures: one in prison, the other enduring a guilt-ridden existence
working in a bar. The tales are made especially distinctive in the
telling. The ""author"" of the stories is a bartender named Tim -
the ""Mike"" of his own narrative - whose idiosyncrasies are
perfectly captured in Hinton's intriguing use of metafiction. The
book also features exclusive interviews with Hinton conducted by
Teresa Miller, host of public television's Writing Out Loud. Hinton
allows readers into her world as she never has before - speaking
openly about her life and career. Complementing the book are line
drawings that illustrate the stories and photographs that document
the author's life. In one interview, Hinton calls Some of Tim's
Stories ""the best writing I've ever done."" These stories capture
the feel of the earlier books that won her fame while demonstrating
an adult edginess and a more disciplined talent. Some of Tim's
Stories is sure to captivate Hinton's long-time fans as it shows
new readers that her soul-searching fiction extends masterfully to
adult themes as well.
