Fiction. "These are not stories in the contemporary sense, but tales spun out of the mystical and the ordinary, a history of men sizing up other men and bottles being passed around a campfire. ...If death figures here, there is also the dichotomy of images honing in on an inevitable end and a language that is enormously, relentlessly alive"--Silvia Curbelo.
For those unaware of Frank Stanford, unkowing of who he was, this collections of short stories has the potential to mis-lead. While I love the stories within this collection, I am not sure that this book is the best introduction to the work of Frank Stanford. That said, I recommend this collection to anyone who is familiar with Frank Stanford. This volume fleshes out a picture that is amazingly incomplete and too unknown.
