"Nine Inches," Tom Perrotta's first true collection, features
ten stories--some sharp and funny, some mordant and surprising, and
a few intense and disturbing. Whether he's dropping into the lives
of two teachers--and their love lost and found--in "Nine Inches,"
documenting the unraveling of a dad at a Little League game in "The
Smile on Happy Chang's Face," or gently marking the points of
connection between an old woman and a benched high school football
player in "Senior Season," Perrotta writes with a sure sense of his
characters and their secret longings.
"Nine Inches" contains an elegant collection of short fiction:
stories that are as assured in their depictions of characters young
and old, established and unsure, as any written today.
