The stories in John Fulton's striking debut collection are set in cars, laundromats, motels, ranch houses, and roadside diners, where his characters struggle with and against the demands of family loyalty, love, loss, and sexual desire. A teenage girl attempts to lose her virginity while her mother dies at home; a middle-aged Casanova passes himself off as Barry Manilow—much to the distress of his soon-to-be-fourth wife; and two young boys accompany their increasingly unhinged mother on a journey of self-destruction across the Utah desert.
