The devil meets his match in a Bathurst Street laundromat. A Vietnam vet's sister is terrified by his unexpected return. The kid who spends too much time in the garage fixates on the battle of Midway--and then breaks all the rules at the high school talent show. A midde-aged social worker's job moves in with him. Overpriced coffee gets served and an old piano teacher finally learns who McCoy Tyner is. In Nowhere Fast, a riveting debut collection of short fiction, the world is unceremoniously unplugged--characters confront the fallout, the stillness, and the silence with a devastating vulnerability.
