At the Jim Bridger: Stories

Welcome to the short stories of
Ron Carlson, where strange beach towels turn up in your living room;
where the ordinary son of a family of geniuses spins a rollicking tale
of happiness and disappointment; where a teenaged magician seduces the
prettiest girl in his high school and the world, with devestating
consequences; and where a desperate ex-con with a broken heart must hide
out in a desert hotel, only to make a startling discovery.Long regarded
as one of our finest living short story writers, Ron Carlson
triumphantly returns to the form with At the Jim Bridger, nine stories
that are epic in scope and confessional in tone; stories that enfold the
reader in a world of love and mystery, and make us feel better than
just about anything written on the page.
