A trucker passes through a town he used to know and a local tries to sell him his sister; a couple put their children to bed and hear a loud scratching at the wall; a Principal and his associate examine the dead body before them; a man looks into a mirror and reflects on becoming more like his father. Sparky, touching and brilliantly daring, these stories reveal profound human feeling in the ordinary and the everyday, and are a reminder of Kelman's exceptional talent. 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180526010054.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CB9B0C04334811E8A3492F263670AAC7Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
