The Hotel Eden by Ron Carlson
In the title story, a young man waiting in the Hotel Eden discovers--as others have--that Eden is not a permanent domicile. In Zanduce at Second, a baseball player turned killer-by-accident undergoes a surprising transformation. We root for escaped felon Ray (A Note on the Type) as he carves his name on a culvert wall. We drive the sweltering summer streets of Phoenix as a nineteen-year-old narrator goes through an unsettling sexual awakening (Oxygen). In these and other stories, whether his characters are getting sabotaged by nightcaps or encountering nudists on a rafting trip, Carlson takes us to new places in a new way.
Ron Carlson teaches creative writing at Arizona State and lives in Scottsdale. His stories, much anthologized, have appeared in The New Yorker, Harper's, Esquire, Playboy, and other magazines.
