The Country Ahead of Us, The Country Behind

These ten stories are stylistically diverse and various in voice and approach.  Some were written in the basement of a house I rented for $75 a month, some in a mobile home, and one in a borrowed corner of a summer home overlooking a bay.

I've always liked the cover art on the original hardback jacket.  Apparently the warehouse in which the majority of those hardbacks were housed burned to the ground, making them rare.

These stories are full of a romantic intensity.  I was broadly influenced at the time of their writing and trying on voices and forms.
