Beschreibung

Winner of a 2021 PenCraft Book Award. Set in places from the Midwest to the Middle East, these thoughtful twelve stories feature characters struggling to define home and purpose as they are forced to choose between escape and making peace with their lots. A girl pins her hopes on her boyfriend's illegal scheme to run away from a dead-end, small-town life. Two orphans find meaning in a discarded canteen and the death of a stray dog in the Mexican desert. Obsessed with a local murder story, an accountant imagines the crime and questions her marriage. Heartbroken and unhinged, a delirious traveler crosses borders in the Middle East. A cynical backpacker tests his moral resolve in South America. Haunted by a childhood tragedy, a man returns to his small-town neighborhood for answers. 


"STEALING AWAY is a lush, shimmering collection, at once globe-trotting and far-afield, and also somehow as intimate and quotidian as any small hometown. Revolinski, an accomplished non-fiction writer, proves with this book that he has incredible range, wisdom, and empathy. I raced through this collection of short stories and can't wait to read more of Revolinski's fiction. A fantastic debut."

- Nickolas Butler, author of Shotgun Lovesongs and Little Faith
