THE FAMOUS THING ABOUT DEATH

Short Story Collection

 

The Famous Thing About Death

A palm reader startles a girl with, “You’ve never been old”; a demented father writes letters to Black Jack Pershing; two Indian boys soldier in WWI; an elderly ballerina escapes a rest home with the aid of an albino rock n’roll star and a child speaks to fish — these characters are hell-bent on the business of life.

—Rick DeMarinis, author of The Art and Craft of the Short Story

​

“Thick with a variety of voices and personalities, this promising debut short-fiction collection marks Lisa Sandlin as a writer to watch.”
