Debut novella and short story collection by upcoming author, d.a. peters. With a knack for the vernacular and a biting wit, his debut has been likened to Darrell Spencer, John Updike, and Chuck Palahniuk. In the eponymous novella, four clerks share their experiences working at a grocery: from alcohol stashed behind the counter, drug addiction, and fidelity - each one deals with problems greater than themselves. Included are two more short stories and a collection of poetry written between 2004-2009
