Publisher's Synopsis
From the award-winning author of story collections The Pugilist at Rest, Cold Snap, and Sonny Liston Was a Friend of Mine, a scorching posthumous collection featuring Jones's best new works, alongside a selection of older stories.
Jones's stories are high-octane, prose-drunk entertainment. His characters are grifters and drifters, rogues and ne'er-do-wells-some lovable, some not-but each with a voice that never fails to grab you by the collar. They include Vietnam soldiers, amateur boxers, pill poppers and veterans of the psych ward, and an unforgettable adolescent DJ radio host, among others.
Nigh Train perfectly captures the essence of this iconic American master, showcasing in a single collection the breadth and power of his inimitable stories.
