Problems with People by David Guterson
From the award-winning, bestselling author of Snow Falling on Cedars--an extraordinary collection of short stories spanning across America, Nepal, South Africa, and Germany that explores the mysteries of love and our complex desire for connection."First-rate.... Humorous, ironic, and satiric.... Each story is realistic, bordering on surrealistic." --The Boston Globe
These stories showcase Guterson's gifts for psychological nuance, emotional suspense, and evocation of the natural world. In these pages, we meet, among others, a lonely landlord trying to reach out to his tenants; a middle-aged widower looking for love online; an American Jew traveling to Berlin to confront his haunted past. Celebrating the surprises that lurk within the dramas of our daily lives, Problems with People marks the return of a contemporary American master to the form that launched his literary career.
