Steve Hughes pushes the boundaries of realism, creating situations that seem odd and otherworldly. In his Detroit, witches cast spells to improve their husbands, chickens grow from seeds, and house painters with anger management issues proclaim themselves poet laureates. The characters in Stiff are all searching for something in each other--a certain wholeness or understanding, a place to rest and call home. Hughes writes with great empathy about people who are struggling with their lives. In "Ripening," a man and woman in an illicit affair witness their genitals leaving their bodies for a rendezvous. In "Dexter's Song," a drug-addicted saxophone player meets a bored suburban woman who gives him her ex-boyfriend's sax, which unleashes a series of disasters but the instrument is so fine, so perfect, that when he holds it to his lips he can do no wrong. Readers of contemporary fiction will enjoy this inventive and evocative collection of stories. 410 0$aMade in Michigan writers series. 608 $aShort stories. 608 $aShort stories, American. 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a813/.6 700 $aHughes$b Steve$0611924 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910479897103321 996 $aStiff$92474000 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02208nam 2200433 n 450 001 996392544003316 005 20200824121113.0 035 $a(CKB)4940000000104063 035 $a(EEBO)2264177936 035 $a(UnM)99849506e 035 $a(UnM)99849506 035 $a(EXLCZ)994940000000104063 100 $a19920204d1632 uy | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 04$aThe nevv covenant, or The saints portion$b[electronic resource] $eA treatise vnfolding the all-sufficiencie of God, mans vprightnes, and the covenant of grace. delivered in fourteene sermons vpon Gen. 17. 1,2.
