This collection brings together stories from Hunters In the Snow and Back In the World, and features the PEN/Faulkner Award-winning short story, The Barrack Thief. Tobias Wolff is the author of In Pharoah's Army and This Boy's Life.

This collection of stories looks at how people rewrite their own histories, and examines how revenge, as another urge to put things right, can take curious forms.
