Alan DeNiro’s debut collection of short stories is wide-ranging, assured and funny. A man loses his leg in a war, and a field doctor sews on a fairy tale in its place. A woman excavates her living room in order to discover what has become of her marriage.
The Byzantine army invades a small college town, giants move in next door, and a boy in a town called Suddenly falls in love with a girl who lives in the Lake of the Dead.
These stories are passionate and political, surreal and slapstick.
