Publisher's Synopsis
A collection of short fiction published previously in The New Republic, High Plains Literary Review, Dog River Review, Appalachia, and elsewhere from 1979 to present. [Barry Roberts] Greer is a writer "blessed with many gifts, especially moral passion. He bears down hard on ignorance, apathy, greed, and calumny, and often his writings have offended those less willing to take the higher road. But he is not rigid or stiff-necked; about his work there plays a witty, rueful tone that conveys his appreciation of the human carnival." --- William Howarth, Princeton University
