From Anchorage junkyards to Boston warehouses, tooling around on his Huffy (the Evel Knievel model) and avoiding fares in his Reno cab, John Cotrona sketches the moments in between the moments about which other people write. Cotrona’s first collection brings together four stories that previously appeared in Cometbus and No Duh, plus three that have never before been published. Featuring artwork by Jesse Weston.
Pocket-sized perfect-bound book with uncoated feltweave cover.
