Among the Missing
Among the Missing | Dan Chaon
5 posts | 6 read | 8 to read
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.

I may be in the minority here,but I really enjoyed this short story. In fact, it may be my favorite in the Disorder Series. In my opinion, you can never have too many cautionary tales about wishing for a better life than the one you‘ve been given.

elkeOriginal @ScrappyMags That's why multiple copies of Flannery are necessary - she's THAT awesome 😊 8y
