Synopsis: From Publishers Weekly: The 12 short stories in this first collection capture the experiences of an adolescent boy in the rural Southwest. In the opening story ("Knoxless"), we see the prominence of a general store in the lives of farm families--"Knox's was the last in a series of immeasurably pleasant stops in town"--and particularly its place in the history of one impressionable youth. "World War II" and "Talking at a Slant" evoke the quandaries experienced by young people when the truth translates as ambiguity. The volume's centerpiece, the title novella, best displays Sodowsky's storytelling strengths. A terminally ill, colorful woman is the catalyst effecting change and liberation for a couple whose marriage is "inexplicably, ever so gradually falling apart." Perceptive renderings of acutely observed relationships mark each tale.
