ONE OF PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMAS FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2019From the New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Ruins, the first collection of short fiction from Jess Walter-a suite of diverse and searching stories about personal struggle and diminished dreams, all of them marked by the wry wit, keen eye, and generosity of spirit that has made him a bookseller and reader favoriteThese twelve stories-published over the last five years in Harpers, The Best American Short Stories, McSweeneys, Playboy, and other publications-veer from comic tales of love to social satire to suspenseful crime fiction, from hip Portland to once-hip Seattle to never-hip Spokane, from a condemned casino in Las Vegas to a bottomless lake in the dark woods of Idaho. This is a world of lost fathers and redemptive conmen, of meth tweakers on desperate odysseys and men committing suicide by fishing.We Live in Water is a darkly comic, heartfelt collection of stories from a ridiculously talented writer (New York Times), one of the freshest voices in American literature (Dallas Morning News).
