In this collection of funny, smart, strongly plotted and heartbreaking stories Donald Charles Davis writes about six American dreamers including a motorcycle outlaw, a television weatherman, an art forger, a family man, a fisherman and an actor. Then he tells a seventh tale about the writer who imagined them all. Other books may claim to make you laugh and cry. A Summer's Worth Of Bitter Ends is one of the few books published in the last decade that actually will.
