“I can’t talk about my job.”

Jack, a vicariously living playboy, is just one of the diverse characters who populate these stories: a loser who keeps trying; a profane elder with a speech impediment; a hitchhiker with a bag of secrets; an elderly couple trying to go home; a youth perplexed by death; a star athlete with a flaw; a musician with a past; a student with an unpayable debt; a new dad with a crow to pick; a woman with a mysterious lover; a grudging Samaritan; a caring stranger and a boy and man with a unique bond. Spanning decades, this collection takes an unapologetic look at America and Americans, as they were then and as they are now.
