Stories of coming together, breaking apart, paper thin walls, god-like boyfriends, women imagined from dreams, pig farmers, the mundane romance of hospitality service, the quiet evenings smoking a single cigarette on the back porch with a person who knows you better than you know yourself, that is falling in love.

For fans of Etgar Keret, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, George Saunders, and Dennis Johnson, these stories dip into the worlds of fabulism and realism. Everyone is smoking. Everyone is trying their best. 

 

Collected stories from Salvetti over the course of five years, before, during, and after his years at UNC Wilmington in the writing program. These stories were living on a hard drive inside a drawer, and he wanted them to be in the world, of the world, and for the world.
