It was published in 1987 by Algonquin Press of Chapel Hill in their series "Bright Leaf Short Fiction IV". From the dust-jacket blurb: "Gildner's hero has been described as a 'certain kind of modern man, too often managed by his affairs, too much the smart-aleck, unheroic and yet noble in his trying . Gildner's narrator hovers above the work, a lyric-jazzy singer always testing the powers of his compelling realism by tempting the reader to the brink of metafictional art'. (the above by Sterling Watson in 'The Georgia Review') In these stories there blows a new theme, a sort of existential recommendation - that perhaps the best way out, or IN, is to take what you're offered and be grateful, no matter how foreshortened the gift. Good short stories should remind the reader of Conrad's definition of the writer's job: 'to seize a passing phase of life from the remorseless rush of time'. These by Gary Gildner are beguiling seizures."
