Everyone Drives (Paperback)

In his stirring debut collection, Thomas A. Baker charts the contradictions and conflicts inherent in modern life - from a disaffected man pondering an unexpected reunion with a dying woman in "I Don't Know Anyone at This Party," to a novice soldier of fortune tying to separate fact from fiction in "The Colonel," to bored professionals contemplating a career change in "A Few Nights in the Zoo." Veering from the rural south to the war-torn Middle East to a quiet college campus to a bustling metropolis, Everyone Drives weaves fable and reality into tales that are rich, bracingly unique, and unflinchingly honest.
