Eight stories of American lives in the early 1920s: a garage mechanic who never answers the telephone, an elderly widower moved in with his son’s family in “Old Man Minick”, a young man adrift in postwar France, and a woman counting the days in a California bungalow with an “unexcelled view of Park”.
Ferber’s sharp, warm short fiction from the years of So Big; “Old Man Minick” later became a play with George S. Kaufman. Download the free EPUB.
