After his stay at a remote artist colony, ne’er-do-well Morris Hines has fallen in love – with anonymity and endless drinking; with an isolated resort town and its bohemian ways. Morris Hines is about to enter hell.
“A catalog of suburbia’s petty desolations and meditations on lost chances; Harper makes for a keen archivist of his characters’ flawed, unfinished manifestos.”
Genevieve Valentine, author of The Girls at the Kingfisher Club and Dream Houses
“These stories – by turns wry, haunting, and melancholy – examine the ubiquity of loneliness, the painful gaps between yearning and fulfillment, and the myriad difficulties of truly connecting with lovers, family, and friends. Harper’s tales have long deserved to be collected under one cover.”
