"There's something I want you to do." This request--sometimes simple, sometimes not--forms the basis for the ten interrelated short stories that comprise this latest penetrating and prophetic collection from the winner of the PEN/Malamud Award and "one of our most gifted writers" (Chicago Tribune).
As we follow a diverse group of Minnesota citizens, each grappling with their own heightened fears, responsibilities, and obsessions, Baxter unveils the remarkable in what might otherwise be the seemingly inconsequential moments of everyday life.Languages:EnglishPublisher:VintageISBN-13:9780804172738ISBN-10:804172730UPC:9780804172738Book Category:FictionBook Subcategory:Short Stories (single author), Family Life, LiterarySize:8.00 x 5.10 x 0.80 inchesWeight:0.5Product ID:SCXKHHCG5E
