Cantina Psalms by Thomas Shess

Cantina Psalms part one of two] is set in near future San Francisco, the most eastern city in the west. If you can handle Boston, Chicago, NYC, Philly or DC then this funny, mostly gritty collection of urban short stories will take you home. This big roster of characters spends the novel dodging rain and each other. In Cantina Psalms, you'll find the near future is no different from today or yesterday populated with dark streets, family love, bittersweets, friendships, crime and high rent/ low rent love stories. It's an ethnic salad tossed around Nob Hill and North Beach. Like any big city there are tangents and trouble. But like life, sometimes the threads don't connect. The joy of this book is the journey. Delivered in black and white tones that capture the pathos and poignant humor of its denizens via tale after tale. Cantina Psalms echoes voices of those who stay and fight, those who find romance in the ruins and those who have failed and those who have not lost hope. Funny, sad, erotic, gritty and filled with love and brotherhood, these three collections of short stories remind us basic human goodness must endure no matter what route we choose to get there.
