Journeys on a Dime

<p>Twenty-four short stories by Toby Olson are collected here for the first time. They move effortlessly from depictions of American working-class and suburban life to wondrous and sometimes grotesque surrealism but always with an undertone of humanity and humour. This selection spanning Olson's career forms a fine introduction to the work of this noted contemporary novelist and poet. The edition includes an introduction by British scholar Ian Brinton setting the work in context.</p>
