Description

A collection of truly brilliant short stories, each depicting the deeply personal experience of a universal or historical event.

Momentous fiction from the best American writer of his generation. A group of housewives smoke cigars and play cards whilst a tornado approaches a west Texas town.

An Asian-American medic bicycles through the Vietnam countryside with her husband and son and returns to the spot where she once held dying soldiers. Or a young rockabilly aficionado prepares for a date in a Ukranian village close to Chenobyl.

The words of Beatles songs sung in a Cambodian work camp. Cullin's ability is to miraculously create moments of true pathos which distill important human experience into a single hair-raising image.

I can honestly say they are the best stories I have ever read, they are chillingly good and I have utter conviction that this is a great writer.
