People I Know
By David Joseph
Loading ratings…
In this unique collection, David Joseph crafts more than sixty pieces of extraordinarily short fiction. They depict the author's clarity of language, character, and ideas at their economical best, while managing to construct a literary world that feels complete despite the succinct nature of these stories.
Like a gallery in an art museum, the portraits in People I Know look back at us. In doing so, they become people we know. Wrapped in the cloaks of their own stories, they carry us on a roller coaster ride of the human experience, humorous, hopeful, sad, touching, curious, and nostalgic.
In this kaleidoscope of family, friends, lovers, and uncommon strangers, David Joseph's concise writing cuts deep. Each story is a small world, fully formed, yet leaving a lasting impression long after the last page.
