About the book
In this haunting, bracing new collection, Dan Chaon shares stories of men, women, and children who live far outside the American Dream, while wondering which decision, which path, or which accident brought them to this place. Chaon mines the psychological landscape of his characters to dazzling effect. Each story radiates with sharp humor, mystery, wonder, and startling compassion. Among the Missing lingers in the mind through its subtle grace and power of language.From the Trade Paperback edition.
First sentence: Safety Man is all shriveled and puckered inside his zippered nylon carrying tote, and taking him out is always the hardest part.
