Beskrivning
Dan Chaon's first collection offers thirteen deft stories detailing the panicked angst of the American generation now approaching thirty. His characters are unnerved by the discrepancy between their youthful expectations and adult reality; they long for understanding and acceptance but are thwarted by failed love, family disruptions, dull work, and sexual confusion. His perfect pitch captures voices that still believe in life, but can't quite manage their lives.

Recensioner i media

""Chaon artfully inhabits each character's skin, while his gifts for natural description--Nebraska wheatfields, Chicago's lakefront--are considerable, too. But it is his deft depiction of emotional exchange, or the lack of it, that fills these stories with life."" --Chicago Tribune|""Chaon's psychological insight, descriptive gifts and knack for conveying whole lives as they sculpt themselves against time make him a writer to savor--and to watch."" --Seattle Times
