| Sumario: | "A variety of characters--writers, attorneys, Vietnam vets, cops, soldiers--populate these stories in which situations frequently aren't what they seem. An old man knows more about the disappearance of a neighbor than he lets on. A barber is involved in something that brings a ski-mask wearing, gun-toting hoodlum into his shop.

Others cover historical events, from the Mexican Revolution to an encounter with Jack Kerouac"--Provided by publisher. |
