Synopsis :

Thirteen stories set in and around the Merrimack Valley in Massachusetts, this volume is not in its third printing. Stephen O\x27Connor is a storyteller in the great tradition of Sherwood Anderson and William Saroyan. David Daniel, author of Renuion and Coffin Dust. Emotional, rich in word craft, Stephen O\x27Connor\x27s stories evoke strong responses and a solid following … Bill Brocato, Houston Literary Review. Stephen O\x27Connor is funny, mysterious, tough yet romantic, like everybody from Lowell, I guess, but with the Howlin\x27 Wolf bred in. David Lenson, The Massachusetts Review

À propos de l'auteur: Stephen P. O'Connor is a native of Lowell, Massachusetts, home of Beat author Jack Kerouac, where much of his writing is set. He is the author of Smokestack Lightning, a collection of short stories, and the novels The Spy in the City of Books and The Witch at Rivermouth." O'Connor has worked as a roofer, a garbage collector, a harvester of grapes, a drywall man, a shoe salesman, a factory hand, and for more than twenty years, a high school teacher. He earned master's degrees from University College Dublin and UMass Boston, and has lived and worked in Ireland and in France. O'Connor lives with his wife Olga and their two children in Lowell. When he's not working or writing he can be found walking in the woods, drinking coffee downtown, playing soccer with the old boys or cranking out Irish tunes on a fiddle inherited from his Uncle Eddie.
