Description

Emmett Stinson's debut collection is set largely in Washington DC immediately after September 11 (when the city also had to deal with anthrax scares and sniper attacks). These are engrossing stories that tap into the zeitgeist of disconnection, isolation and the loss of meaningful identity after this world-changing event. With sharp, insightful prose that illuminates the frailty of human relationships, Known Unknowns is an arresting collection that marks the arrival of an exciting new literary talent.
