Opis

It s not going to kill you, a mother tells her protesting child. And maybe it won t, but that doesn t mean anyone is getting off scot-free. A no-man's-land between exoneration and repercussion, this is the place where the people in Erin Flanagan s stories live: in events as big as 9/11 and as small as an infatuation with a dog groomer, as meaningful as the birth of a baby and as senseless as a car crash, as unique as a 1980s air band living out dreams for a city in decline and as common as an afterschool job that sucks. These stories accept that we all make mistakes, butit swhat we do in the aftermath that defines us.Sharp-witted and tenderhearted, these are stories in which readers will find people they recognizebut never really knew until now.
