Same Place, Same Things: Stories
Set largely in rural Louisiana, Tim Gautreaux’s masterful debut story collection follows men and women whose ordinary lives reach a point of rupture, a moment when convention gives way to crisis and everything changes: A drunken train engineer charges toward disaster, a father borrows and old airplane to chase down his daughter’s kidnapper, a young man falls in love with a voice on the radio. Written with humor, suspense, and a powerful affection for humanity in all its wild forms, Same Place, Same Things is the first great work by a master of the form.
Welding With Children: Stories
A master storyteller’s triumphant, moving collection about lost souls, found love, and rediscovered tradition.Tim Gautreaux returns to the form that won him his first fans, with tales of family, sin, and redemption: from a man who realizes his grandchildren are growing up without any sense of right or wrong, and he’s to blame; to a camera repairman who uncovers a young woman’s secret in the undeveloped film she brings him; to a one-armed hitch-hiker who changes the life of the man who gives her a ride.Each one a small miracle of storytelling and compassion, these stories are a joyous confirmation of Tim Gautreaux’s rare and generous talent.
