From Dennis Lehane, the award-winning author of Mystic River, Shutter Island, and the Kenzie-Gennaro series, comes a surprisingly different collection of five short stories:
""Running Out the Dog""
""ICU""
""Gone Down to Corpus""
""Mushrooms""
""Until Gwen""
At turns suspenseful, surreal, romantic, and tragically comic, these tales journey headlong into the heart of our national myths—about class, gender, freedom, and regeneration through violence—and reveal that the truth waiting for us there is not what we'd expect.
Dennis Lehane is the author of thirteen novels—including the New York Times bestsellers Live by Night; Moonlight Mile; Gone, Baby, Gone; Mystic River; Shutter Island; and The Given Day—as well as Coronado, a collection of short stories and a play. He grew up in Boston, MA and now lives in California with his family.
Stanley Tucci's first co-directing, co-screenwriting and acting effort was the acclaimed Big Night; he also wrote, directed and co-produced The Imposters and directed Joe Gould's Secret. Among his many film credits are Deconstructing Harry, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and The Road to Perdition; he won a Golden Globe and Emmy® for his title performance in HBO's Winchell, and received a Tony® nomination for his performance in Frankie and Johnny in the Claire de Lune.
