This Foolish Heart Of Mine [Paperback]

Readers of Raymond Carver, J. D. Salinger, and Haruki Murakami will enjoy the stories in This Foolish Heart of Mine, where normal people are subjected to events both mundane and fantastical. In the titular story, old friends talk about past loves. In A Convenience Store Love Story, a convenience store clerk figures out his life as he is sent on an impossible chase for a bag of chips on the other side of the world. An old man with nothing better to do builds a fence that will span from the Pacific to the Atlantic in To Build a Fence. These sixteen short stories about family, friendship, love, and food will blur the lines between reality and fantasy before making you question what it really means to be human.
