In 'Thief,' a blue-collar worker turns unlikely detective to find out which of his kids is stealing from the family vacation fund. In 'We Live in Water,' a lawyer returns to a corrupt North Idaho town to find the father who disappeared thirty years earlier. In 'Anything Helps,' a homeless man has to 'go to cardboard' to raise enough money to buy his son the new Harry Potter book. In 'Virgo,' a local newspaper editor tries to get back at his superstitious ex-girlfriend by screwing with her horoscope. And the collection's final story transforms slyly from a portrait of Walter's hometown into a moving contemplation of our times"--Cover verso. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $z United States $v Fiction. 651 0 $a United States $x Social life and customs $y 21st century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 gsafd 941 $a 15 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214032140.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012025317.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909030159.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722035204.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110043220.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006070825.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720041826.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180105035854.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418092920.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20150508013735.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20150227023418.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20140131021935.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20130402021636.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20130402021421.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20130321010218.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CD38E4868DFE11E2BA934599DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IW9Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
