| Summary: | "Written over the course of twenty-five years, the stories in What Burns examine the extremes of desire against a backdrop of family, class, and mortality. In 'Bliss', a young man befriends the convicted felon who murdered his mother when he was only a child. In 'Not Even Camping Is Like Camping Anymore', a teenage boy fends off the advances of a five-year-old his mother babysits. And in 'Dues', a man discovers that everything he owns is borrowed from someone else--including his time on earth."-- |
