These People Are Us: Stories

The stories in this book are just plain hilarious, told with lean, witty prose that is dry as dry humor can get.

The poor narrator is always losing a wife or a girlfriend in one of the stories, or coming upon a revelation about a relationship that he was IN that sets the crux of the "didn't see it coming" denouement.

These stories are mostly about hard working lower class and unsatisfied middle class people, told with an edge to the at-times twilight-zonish world we live in.

I look forward to reading more by Singleton.
