Fiction. This expanded second edition of Pelton's stories adds 7 new pieces, including "Republicans and ErectileDysfunction," doubling the size of a book our advertisements already call "required reading in the future." "Pelton's short fictions problematize the reality of postwar America by asking us to think beyond what we've come to know as numb spectators of the electric box and bored participants in the theater of our own absurd lives"--Review of Contemporary Fiction. "This masterful kaleidoscopic hall of mirrors is a vivid tableau of our multiple life's other side. Lucky you've got Ted Pelton minding the store"--Robert Creeley. "Pelton's voice asserts itself with power and grace, and the stories take forms that take off"--Rain Taxi Review of Books.
