In "Bliss," a young man befriends the convicted felon who murdered his mother when he was only a child. In "Not Even Camping Is Like Camping Anymore," a teenage boy fends off the advances of a five-year-old his mother babysits. And in "Dues," a man discovers that everything he owns is borrowed from someone else-including his time on earth. Walking the tightrope between tenderness and violence that has defined Peck's work since the publication of his first novel, Martin and John, through his most recent, Night Soil, What Burns reveals Peck's mastery of the short form as well as the novel"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Short stories. 700 12 $a Peck, Dale. $t Not even camping is like camping anymore. 700 12 $a Peck, Dale. $t Bliss. 700 12 $a Peck, Dale. $t Sky writing. 700 12 $a Peck, Dale. $t Law of diminishing returns. 700 12 $a Peck, Dale. $t Dues. 700 12 $a Peck, Dale. $t St. Anthony of the vine. 700 12 $a Peck, Dale. $t Summer beam. $n Pt. 1. 700 12 $a Peck, Dale. $t Summer beam. $n Pt. 2. 700 12 $a Peck, Dale. $t IX. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Peck, Dale, 1967- $t What burns $d New York, NY : Soho, [2019] $z 9781641290838 $w (DLC) 2019022912 941 $a 3 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200227010849.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204100129.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110083111.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=72D45E94337911EAAB6AAA0C97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
