Damned If I Do is a set of brilliantly postmodern short stories from the twice Booker Prize-shortlisted author of The Trees, James and Erasure.An artist, a cop, a cowboy, several fly fishermen and even a reluctant romance novelist inhabit these revealing and often hilarious stories. An old man ends up in a high-speed chase with the cops after stealing the car that blocks the garbage bin at his apartment building. A stranger gets a job at a sandwich shop and fixes everything in sight: a manual mustard dispenser, a mouthful of crooked teeth, thirty-two parking tickets and a sexual identity problem.Everett skewers race, class, identity, surrealism and much more in this masterful short story collection from one of America's most inventive living writers.Part of the Picador Collection, a series celebrating fifty years of Picador books and showcasing the best of modern literature.Read Percival's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel James in paperback now.
