Content
Peter Orner explores the remarkable ways in which memories shape us. The stories range from a woman whose husband dies just before their divorce, to a man who runs for governor of Illinois and loses much more than the election. Two brothers play under the infamous Chappaquiddick bridge. With his characteristic conciseness, Orner presents a series of intimate, poignant portraits of individuals.
Themes and locations
Whether he writes about Geraldo Rivera's attempt to reveal the contents of Al Capone's vault, or about a father and daughter trying to escape a hurricane, Orner highlights universal themes. The stories take place in diverse locations, from Chicago to Wyoming and from Massachusetts to the Czech Republic.
