Spinning Away from the Center: Stories about Homesickness and Homecoming from the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction - Paperback

by Ethan Laughman (Editor), Ed Allen (Contribution by), Wendy Brenner (Contribution by)

These stories offer layered, perceptive takes on what home means to us. The people we meet in these stories are often traveling to and from home--thinking about where they have come from, where they are headed, and how that journey will impact their futures. Although the stories approach homecoming and homesickness through varied moods and styles, they all come around to confronting a shared need: a place to call home.
