This collection of 32 stories contains 11 new works; "Borrowed Hearts," included in The Best Stories of the South 1999; and "Your Story," which was read on the prestigious NPR show Selected Shorts. "DeMarinis is a contemporary avatar of that tradition in American short story writing that . . . is essentially religious and, because rooted in the everyday, comic." - Russell Banks, The New York Times Book Review; "Comic surrealism fashioned with rowdy wit and apparently inexhaustible creative energy." - Kirkus Reviews.
