Peter Orner

4.9/5 (23198 ratings)

Description:The long-awaited second collection of stories from a writer whose first was hailed as "one of the best story collections of the last decade" (Kevin Brockmeier).In Last Car Over The Sagamore Bridge, Peter Orner presents a kaleidoscope of individual lives viewed in intimate close-up. A woman's husband dies before their divorce is finalized; a man runs for governor and loses much more than the election; two brothers play beneath the infamous bridge at Chappaquiddick; a father and daughter outrun a hurricane--all are vivid and memorable occasions as seen through Orner's eyes. Last Car Over The Sagamore Bridge is also a return to the form Orner loves best. As he has written, "The difference between a short story and a novel is the difference between a pang in your heart and the tragedy of your whole life. Read a great story and there it is--right now--in your gut."Foley's PondOccidental HotelSpokaneThe poetHerb and Rosalie Swanson at the Cocoanut GroveMy old boss E.J. once told me he was famous for goofy hatsAt the kitchen tableGrand Pacific Hotel, Chicago, 1875Railroad Men's HomePlaza Revolución, Mexico City, 6 a.mHorace and JosephineI was six, maybe seven months oldPampkin's lamentLincolnLast car over the Sagamore BridgeNathan Leopold writes to Mr. Felix Kleczka of 5383 S.
