Description
An artist, a cop, a cowboy, several fly fishermen, and even a reluctant romance novelist inhabit these revealing and often hilarious stories.
An old man ends up in a high-speed chase with the cops after stealing the car that blocks the garbage bin at his apartment building. A stranger gets a job at a sandwich shop and fixes everything in sight: a manual mustard dispenser, a mouthful of crooked teeth, thirty-two parking tickets, and a sexual identity problem.
Percival Everett skewers race, class, identity, surrealism, and much more in this masterful short story collection from a genius of American letters. Damned If I Do offers readers a brilliant showcase of both humour and keen observation.
