Paper and Ink 2: Stories

By Mike Lubow

Following his collection of internationally published short stories, Paper and Ink-hailed by Kirkus Reviews as "craftily built... worthy of a wide readership"-Mike Lubow returns with Paper and Ink 2, a new collection of ten stories, offering another dive into edgy, offbeat, literary fun. In "Fired," we experience the life-changing moment when a young ad exec suddenly loses his job and comes to see it's not exactly a blow to his career. In "Tips," we live through a night on the streets of Chicago through the eyes of a cab driver who's not truly a cab driver, and travel with him through memories as colorful as his city. In "Chicagah" we get a taste of what it's really like to feel that great, tough city in your guts. The story "Funland Elegy" is raunchy fun, with carnival rides and life lessons presented in the glare of colorful neon. "Saturday in the Mind" takes us on an unforgettable date night. As with the original Paper and Ink, all stories in this collection expose dramatic, empathetic interior responses and emotions that occur when we face challenges, life lessons and the pleasures of moments well worth remembering. This is a further collection of stories that appeared in the finest literary magazines of our age, brought together in one new volume to enjoy in paper and ink-or on your e-reader.
