Customer Reviews

fiction, people, melodies

a wonderful and original collection of tales that span the country looking deep into the hearts and lives of people who are waiting, or lost, or looking for something they secretly know they won't find. piazza is a renowned music writer, and whether explicit or not, these stories have a bluesy, riffy melody playing throughout them.

Great American Personality Landscape

A wonderful cadre of short stories, highlighting the day to day struggles of relationships caught with a keen eye and sharp wit. Especially enjoyable was the story of two college poets and the change of their relationship due to the nervous breakdown of one of them. A kinder Raymond Carver. Great read.
