Synopsis

Finalist for the High Plains Book Awards

O'Leary's new collection is a frank, unflinching follow-up to 2017's successful DICK CHENEY SHOT ME IN THE FACE. Here O'Leary does the impossible: dive into the psyches of the most destructive men- a stalker, a Klansman, public shooters-and creates narratives that neither rationalize, nor over-empathize. Refreshingly, these stories deliver both valuable insight, and perspective-enhancing humor. Employing fiercer social commentary and broader imagination, these new stories are concerned with justice, redemption, mockery of a decaying and violent culture and the often greedy men behind it. But for every grubby and disastrous man, there's hope in the form of the unexpected: a centenarian whose invisibility is a weapon, a retired Montana rancher, a California tomato farmer, an elderly Black woman from Brooklyn with some powerful knitting needles, two fly fishermen-even the Earth herself. While nostalgia, humor, and blunt delivery hook the reader, O'Leary is dead serious about calling out liars, the indignities of American retirement, contagious gun violence, and other social and political ills.
