| Abstract |
"Comprises short stories of 5,000 to 9,000 words written roughly between 1990 and 2017 by journalist Chuck Twardy, who has written feature articles and reviews of art, architecture and books for newspapers and other publications since 1982. Six of the stories chronicle the experiences of alter ego Castor from eighth grade to late middle age, but other stories range widely in terms of protagonists, plots and places, from an executive superintending a casino implosion in 2055 Las Vegas to a harried young mother simultaneously managing dense traffic and an obstreperous child in contemporary Raleigh, North Carolina."--Back cover |
