Publisher's Synopsis
The newest collection of Java stories is a celebration of the everyman, devoid of cynicism, but full of melancholy, hope and humour, and all keenly and quietly observant. Highlights include Steven', which explores the blurry line of friendship and love, 'Tide Pools' where a student encounters a girl that wants to travel but has no gumption to do it, 'The Burial', with its aura of mystery, in which a terrible secret is literally unearthed, and particularly remarkable; 'May 27th', in which a student social worker confronts delinquency and lower class despair.'
