Synopsis:

Shepard is a terrific mimic, and manages to give each one of his narrators a slightly different voice, wrinkling some stories with subtle irony, leading others the pomp and swagger of a professional boxer--"The Boston Globe."

Shepard is a master of the short story. This hilarious and engaging collection explores everything from the chernobyl explosion, to Aeschylus, to Nazis in the Himalayas. It's a true joy to read.
