Nine Inches: Stories

Resumen del libro

The new collection from the New York Times bestselling author of The Leftovers and Little Children, featuring stories focusing on Perrotta's familiar suburban nuclear families

Tom Perrottas first book, Bad Haircut, consisted of linked stories featuring a shared protagonist. Now, nineteen years later, he has written and compiled his first true short story collection. This twelve story book features a group set in Perrottas trademark suburban setting, focusing on the fissures in families and unexpected connections among members of typical American communities, including 'Senior Season' and "Nine Inches". Others offerings here showcase Perrotta's assured, smooth writing, but may surprise fans with new protagonists and concerns. One of these twistier stories is 'The Smile on Happy Changs Face', which was the Boston Book Festivals first all-city One City, One Story selection in 2010.
