At the Jim Bridger: Stories

by Ron Carlson · 2000

+ Want to read

Welcome to the short stories of Ron Carlson, where strange beach towels turn up in your suburban living room; where the ordinary son of a family of geniuses spins a rollicking tale of happiness and disappointment; and where a desperate ex-con with a broken heart must hide out in a desert hotel, only to make a startling discovery. Epic in scope and confessional in tone, At the Jim Bridgerenfolds the reader in a world of love and mystery, and makes us feel better than just about anything written on the page.
