From the wondrously talented author of The mysteries of Pittsburgh and Wonder Boys comes a magnificent collection of ironic, understated tales that confirm his reputation as "the young star of American letters."

Here are eleven superb stories about growing up and growing wise — stories in which people attempt to create and inhabit their own model worlds, only to watch them collapse in the face of the real world.

This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.
