The fourteen stories in this powerful new collection create a vivid, often startling portrait of contemporary Seattle. Set throughout the city's varied and colorful neighborhoods, the stories focus on the residents of a downtown apartment building: from an aging tenant organizer to a breeder of butterflies, and emigre artist to a deluded newspaper pressman, an alcoholic Mormon woman to a disillusioned college professor, a lonely secretary to a lovelorn delivery boy, a pair of roommate junkies to a gang of skinheads, an evicted Indian maskmaker to an octogenarian husband and wife. These prize-winning stories depict working and out-of-work people in conflict with themselves and their urban surroundings--struggling to preserve their dignity and, with any luck, pay the rent. Review A wonderful, illuminating portrait . . . of Seattle. --Brian Evenson The stories are characterized by ambition, complexity, profundity, and craft. --Gordon Weaver About the Author Peter Donahue currently teaches creative writing and journalism at Birmingham-Southern College in Alabama.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51928444305696,"sku":"NEW1892034034","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-cornelius-arms-1892034034","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
