In this powerful and virtuosic collection of interlocking stories, each one 'a marvel of concision and compassion' (Washington Post), a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist and 'master of his form' (i~>New York Times) takes the short story to new heights.Through fortyfour compressed gems, Peter Orner, a writer who 'doesn't simply bring his characters to life, he gives them souls' (NYT Book Review), chronicles people whose lives are at inflection points, gripping us with a series of defining moments.Whether it's a first date that turns into a latenight road trip to a sance in an abandoned airplane hangar, or a family's memories of the painful mystery surrounding a neglected uncle's demise, Orner reveals how our fleeting decisions between kindness and abandonment chase us across time. These stories are anchored by a poignant novella that delivers not only the joys and travails of a fortyyear marriage, but an entire era in a workingclass New England city. Bristling with the crackling energy of life itself, Maggie Brown & Others marks the most sustained achievement to date for 'a master of his form' (New York Times).A New York Times Notable Book A Chicago Tribune Notable Book An Oprah Magazine Best Book of 2019 Kirkus Reviews Best Short Fiction of 2019 Longlisted for the Simpson/Joyce Carol Oates Prize
