Описание: Nine Inches, Tom Perrottas first true collection, features ten stories--some sharp and funny, some mordant and surprising, and a few intense and disturbing. Whether hes dropping into the lives of two teachers--and their love lost and found--in Nine Inches, documenting the unraveling of a dad at a Little League game in The Smile on Happy Changs Face, or gently marking the points of connection between an old woman and a benched high school football player in Senior Season, Perrotta writes with a sure sense of his characters and their secret longings.
Nine Inches contains an elegant collection of short fiction: stories that are as assured in their depictions of characters young and old, established and unsure, as any written today.
