Synopsis

"John Domini is one of those rare writers who doesn't bend his characters towards his own pre-determined ends, but follows where they lead. In lesser hands, Domini's people would have been drowned in bathos. But Domini honors them with a generous but unsentimental imagination, giving us lives worth knowing about, layered portrayals of the obdurate world and our own terrifying self-betrayals. His profound, unflinching attention reminds us how closely together fiction, at its best, can unite justice with mercy."

--Jay Cantor

"John Domini's densely textured stories teem with compelling inner and outer life. He is a master at capturing the complex workings of minds under stress and the hard-edged negotiations we make with fate when our backs are against a wall. He knows how women and men can behave with one another. The stories move swiftly and sinuously, emerging from the everyday to coil around a reader's heart."

--Floyd Skloot

"Fiery, crackling prose. Domini's writing wields a double-bladed humor that is both fearsomely entertaining and pleasurably dark. Highway Trade is a sharp and compassionate work; unforgettable."

--Diana Abu-Jaber
