Summary:
"This collection of tragicomic short stories, whose form is inspired by Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, feature various inhabitants of Staten Island, New York City's so-called forgotten borough. The collection travels across time through the voices of working-class folks to explore defining moments in the island's history and in US history"-- Provided by publisher.
Contents:
Tale of the angry adjunct
What it is
Great kills
Eddie and the dying fish
The knight's tale
Do now
Underneath the water you could actually hear bells
This one kid Douglass got jumped
You are a strange imitation of a woman
The grant writer's tale
Who would break the dark first
As luck would have it.
