More DescriptionThis collection of Luke Hartwell's short stories--Jimmy, Michael, Nothing Strikes Back!, and Toller--showcases his ability to create intriguing characters then tell their stories in a voice so accurate readers are transported. "Jimmy" has been compared favorably to "Brokeback Mountain" for its sparse prose and simple power. "Michael" is shockingly funny. The overlooked "Nothing Strikes Back!" is a beautifully-told story of a teen's infatuation with the somewhat older narrator. "Toller," Hartwell's latest, is perhaps his best work to date. Together, these stories are a testament to Hartwell's engaging style and remarkable, addictive voice.
