The Cheever of NoCal

Cool, smoothly rendered stories involving characters with ties to NoCal whose middle class veneer hides true emotional journey. Like Cheever, the characters are rendered real on the surface, but swim in the river of their heart. Like Carver in the seamless pacing and ease with tragedy. A collection in the tradition of the great storytellers.
