Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A hit man gets some work in Sin City, a tryst goes awry for a pair of senior citizens, an alcoholic cop makes a dramatic appearance at a rehab, a young man makes a midnight visit to some friends' bedroom. All these tales and many more in Menage a Trois & Other Stories, a book of flash fiction by Jack Swenson.The prose snapshots in this book crackle with energy, irony, and humor. Less is more, indeed, in this collection of stories from the author of Bad Apples. Some of the stories are only a few hundred words long, but they pack a punch. The writing is lean and mean, often humorous, and always revealing.If you like Raymond Carver's gritty stories and the bare bones style of Elmore Leonard, you'll love these little tales.You'll laugh, cry, wince, grin, and shake your head when you read the stories in this provocatively titled little book.
