Last Car Over the Sagamore Bridge - by Peter Orner (Paperback)

Last Car Over the Sagamore Bridge is a masterful collection of short stories that will leave you in awe of Peter Orner's storytelling prowess.

With each tale, he delves into the complexities of human experience, exploring themes of love, loss, memory, and the power of our stories to shape our understanding of the world.

From a woman's husband dying before their divorce is finalized to a man running for governor of Illinois and losing much more than an election, Orner zeroes in on the strange ways our memories define us.

Employing his signature compression, he presents a kaleidoscope of individual lives viewed in startling, intimate close-up.

Whether writing of Geraldo Rivera's attempt to reveal the contents of Al Capone's vault or of a father and daughter trying to outrun a hurricane, Orner illuminates universal themes that will resonate with readers long after they finish the last story.

With praise from acclaimed authors like Anthony Doerr, Stuart Dybek, Chris Abani, and Ann Beattie, it's clear why Last Car Over the Sagamore Bridge is being hailed as a "seance of a book" (Stuart Dybek) and a "magnificent and moving mosaic" (San Francisco Chronicle).
