How It Was for Me: Stories

In the title story of this collection neighborhood boys crouch in a backyard toolshed and conspire to prove their piano teachers to be witches. In Cannibal Kings a disillusioned young man accompanies a troubled boy on a tour of prep schools through the Pacific Northwest only to realize that he has lost his way in life. And in Come Live With Me And Be My Love a middle-aged gentleman looks back at his mannered early life as a Ivy Leaguer married to a vivacious woman but silently yearning for his best friend -- and the sacrifices that each made to uphold their compromising bargain.. With a classic storytellers gift for nuance and understanding and a poets grace for language Andrew Sean Greer makes a remarkable debut with How It Was For Me.
