Description
The devil meets his match in a Bathurst Street laundromat. A Vietnam vet's sister is terrified by his unexpected return. The kid who spends too much time in the garage fixates on the battle of Midway—and then breaks all the rules at the high school talent show. A midde-aged social worker's job moves in with him. Overpriced coffee gets served and an old piano teacher finally learns who McCoy Tyner is. In Nowhere Fast, a riveting debut collection of short fiction, the world is unceremoniously unplugged—characters confront the fallout, the stillness, and the silence with a devastating vulnerability.
