From 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 reader favorite-now available as a special Harper Perennial Olive Edition.
These twelve stories-originally published in Harper's, The Best American Short Stories, McSweeney's, 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 T imes), "one of the freshest voices in American literature" (Dallas Morning News).
