Here’s the setup:

Here is a story collection about love, death, humor, and the glue called family.

In another, a couple’s visit with friends to watch the Academy Awards has the protagonist envying his friends’ lawn and lifestyle. In these and eleven other stories, Christopher Meeks balances tragedy and wit. As novelist David Scott Milton explains, “In this collection, Christopher Meeks examines the small heartbreaks of quiet despair that are so much a part of all our lives. He does it in language that is resonant, poetic, and precise…. If you like Raymond Carver, you’ll love Meeks. He may be as good–or better.”

Dire Means weaves a tale of a city under siege, its citizens forced to flaunt the Golden Rule as the only way to survive.If you have ever contemplated the end of homelessness –despite the seeming futility of such a goal, or if you simply enjoy a story that will take you on an engrossing, original journey, take Dire Means for a drive.
