- "Tiger, Tiger takes readers from the Paradise Valley Senior Center parking lot all the way to Mars and explores the contradictions of our existence along the way. Readers are introduced to an astonishing array of characters that come up against the challenges of everyday life--both mundane and exceptional--and their experiences never fail to surprise and delight. Masterfully crafted and astonishingly wise, these are stories that explore the limits of human understanding, the future of mankind, and establish Skibsrud as a rare and exceptional talent."-- Provided by publisher.
