Synopsis

Book by Coshnear, Daniel

Reviews

This collection of short stories, winner of the 2000 Willa Cather Fiction Prize, shows people having trouble dealing with work, illness, addiction, sex, relationships--life in general. In "New Job," a pet cat that is a woman's link to her late husband is put down. In "How We Remember You," a woman whose personality brightens up her group home for mentally ill homeless people commits suicide on her fortieth birthday, sending the counselor on duty into a tailspin. At another group home, a burned-out counselor approaches a breakthrough in "Double Shift." In "The Resolution of Nothing," a 10-year-old worries not only about getting too much help from his father on his prizewinning science project but about the nature of God; and Coshnear is on target in describing his young protagonist's environment: "One day you're a star, next day you're a turd--that's fifth grade, better behave yourself." With insight and incisive prose, Coshnear describes the human condition. Michele Leber

Store Description

I sell uncommon art catalogs, academic monographs, and prints, as well as rare ephemera such as posters and zines. I ship from Brooklyn, New York. I am an alum of the Rare Book School and the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar, as well as Indiana University and the Ohio State University. I started in the trade at the Wexner Center for the Arts bookstore, and I have previously worked for the Columbus Metropolitan Library, the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago's Department of Prints and Drawings, and the Indiana University Art Museum's center for Prints, Drawings, and Photographs. More recently, I was the rare book cataloger at Donald Heald Rare Books, for whom I worked the ABAA's New York International Antiquarian Book Fair.
