- Summary:
- Each of the realistic worlds Billy Kahora brings us in the short stories and novella that make up The Cape Cod Bicycle War and Other Stories explores the tensions and transitions of characters moving between youthful folly and a precarious adulthood. In the title story, immigrant workers with varying ambitions work at a Wendy's in wintry Cape Cod. Sharing one house, they must also share, or rather compete for, bicycles--crucial transportation--which are in short supply.
