"Michael Knight is more than a master of the short story. He knows the true pace of life and does not cheat it, all the while offering whopping entertainment."--Barry Hannah Long considered a master of the form and an essential voice in American fiction, Michael Knight's stories have been lauded by writers such Ann Patchett, Elizabeth Gilbert, Barry Hannah, and Richard Bausch. Now, with Eveningland he returns to the form that launched his career, delivering an arresting collection of interlinked stories set among the "right kind of Mobile family" in the years preceding a devastating hurricane. Grappling with dramas both epic and personal, from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill to the "unspeakable misgivings of contentment," Eveningland captures with crystalline poeticism and perfect authenticity of place the ways in which ordinary life astounds us with its complexity. A teenaged girl with a taste for violence holds a burglar hostage in her house on New Year's Eve; a middle aged couple examines the intricacies of their marriage as they prepare to throw a party; and a real estate mogul in the throes of grief buys up all the property on an island only to be accused of madness by his daughters. These stories, told with economy and precision, infused with humor and pathos, excavate brilliantly the latent desires and motivations that drive life forward. Eveningland is a luminous collection from "a writer of the first rank."(Esquire)Binding Type: Hardcover

Perfect playtime birthday cake toy!

My baby girl had a birthday today. She absolutely loves her birthday cake squeaker toy. This is an absolutely wonderful gift to give. Great quality, easy for her to play with, easy clean up and it’s ready for the next playtime. Shipping was quick.

A Turtle with Big Dreams and Weak Seams
Style: Turtle
This toy showed up ready to inspire. A squeaky, crinkly, treat-stuffed turtle with a dream: to enrich my dog’s life and stimulate his gentle mind.
What actually happened? My puppy took one look, screamed “GAME ON” in dog language, and unleashed pure chaos. Treats fell out instantly, like the turtle panicked and threw them in surrender, saying, “We give up,” almost immediately.
The material for the treat pockets feels like craft day at a preschool; soft, colorful, and never meant for combat. This turtle was built for spa days, not war.
Points for concept, charm, and squeaky optimism—but this turtle wasn’t built for the front lines of puppy enthusiasm.

VERY small toy
Very SMALL!! Do not buy for a medium or large dog. They could chock on it. Fortunately, my grandpuppy is only 13 lbs.

Only good for small dogs
I didn’t pay attention to the size and it’s really little. Thankfully, my dog is small.
