โฆ Synopsis
A schoolteacher escapes East Berlin at night, swimming the Spree River three times carrying elderly relatives on her back, so she can make her way to West Palm Beach, Florida, and ruin the lives of fifth grade boys. A young husband reckons with the likelihood that his wife's troubled pregnancy will end with her death before Christmas. A preacher bathes his ill and elderly mother, not knowing that she has mistaken him for the long-lost cousin she watched murder his brother in her father's tobacco field. In six stories that read like novels in miniature, Kyle Minor plumbs the depths of human mystery, where meet our kindnesses and our cruelties, our generosities and our pettiness.It includes the story A Day Meant to Do Loss, selected for Best American Mystery Stories 2008, and goodbye Hills, hello night, winner of the 2005 Tara M. Kroger Award.
