Book description
In 'Holler', when his wife throws him out, Tom shacks up with the
family of a casual girlfriend. They leave it to him to bathe, shave
and keep a jug of wine within a straw's reach of their disabled patriarch.
In 'I Start Over', retirement has not been living up to Big Bernie's
expectations-not the expectations the television advertisements are
peddling anyway. He treats himself to a souped-up 1959 Chevrolet, and
this indulgence might just be what he needs to start over.
Part of the Storycuts series, this short story was previously
published in the collection Knockemstiff.
Don Pollock grew up in Knockemstiff and worked in the Mead papermill
for thirty-two years before leaving to become a writer. He teaches
literature and composition at Ohio State University.
