All Must Go: Stories - Paperback

by Kevin Sterne (Author)

Jerry writes letters to his dead mother. He battles a haunted radiator. He falls through a roof. He visits the state fair, befriends a box cutter found in the dumpster behind Applebee's, and tries getting drunk off of his sister's hairspray. His best friend, the "Desperate House Guy," bounces from job to job doing you-name-it for Chicago's wealthy while finding his way in and out of his own problems. Meanwhile, a Swiss widower mourns his wife, a famous bodybuilder, while the local dumpster diver robs a Starbucks and a boy hunts for Sasquatch. From surreal accidents to heartbreaking arguments, ALL MUST GO-a novel in stories about the working class people of Chicago who serve the north side elite-delivers bizarre moments of pleasure, of wonder and abandon // "If Raymond Carver and Denis Johnson co-wrote Waiting for Godot while snorting a few lines of Salvador Dali's ashes, the result might look something like All Must Go. Kevin Sterne is the real deal."-JENNIFER WORTMAN, author of This. This. This. Is. Love. Love. Love.
