Sinopsis
Denis Johnson meets Flannery O’Connor in this luminous collection of short stories about the collision of cultures, genders, and generations in the American Southwest. Set mainly amid Indian reservations and uranium mills, these twelve stories create a kaleidoscopic view of family, myth, love, landscape, and loss in a place where infinite skies and endless roads suggest a world of possibility, yet dreams are deceiving, like an oasis, just beyond reach. Whether it’s a young woman pushed quite literally to the edge on a desolate mountain pass, an orphaned brother and sister trying to patch together an existence one stitch at a time, a cop who suspects his kleptomaniac wife is stealing from other people — materially and emotionally — or a wily roadside hypnotist whose alleged power is both wonderful and strange, Ann Cummins’s characters want to transcend the circumstances of their lives, to believe in the eventuality of change. Again and again, Ann Cummins generates imagery of white-hot intensity and pushes the limits of both the human spirit and the short story form. Gritty, seductive, and always daring, this unforgettable debut collection puts forth a haunting new vision of hope and heartache in contemporary America and confirms the arrival of an important new voice.

Sobre A. Friendly's Books
A. Friendly's Books was founded in Downtown Overland Park, Kansas, in 1994 as a brick and mortar used, rare and out-of-print bookstore. The store is named for the original A. Friendly who, legend has it, traveled around the country to small towns and homesteads in the early days of the US carrying a sack of books on his back, or sometimes pulling a small cart filled with books to sell and trade. He often told stories to the townspeople and even taught some how to read. Today we use the internet but our love for books is the same as in the days of A. Friendly. All of our books are carefully packaged and we offer free shipping in the US. We guarantee all books to arrive as described or money back.
