The narratives throughout Gary Fincke's sixth collection of short stories contains newsworthy events that are chronicled secondhand: the shooting of a policemen, the murder of a house flipper, the firing of a teacher for punching a violent student, the accidental drowning of a gay man in a flood, and a fire somewhat accidentally set by a juvenile smoker in a school. Despite these surprising events, the narrator of each story is an ordinary person caught up in the action but preoccupied by other things, whether zombie movies, collecting unusual words, the oddity of other people's sexual habits, or what to do in retirement. These shocking incidents become both central and peripheral to the narrative, as Fincke portrays the fluctuating emotions and self-protective reflections of fathers, sons, and husbands, creating a world where individuals rarely understand each other yet still arrive at moments of compassion, tolerance, perseverance, and familial love.
