"I was just another drunk tourist girl in the neon tapestry, tarted up, having zero luck, and self-medicating." An American woman staggers through the night in Phnom Penh. "Is this all that I am to you?" A comely Filipina serves rich clients aboard an elevator to space. "If he wanted to keep an eye on my door, he was welcome to it, but I wasn't slowing down." A truck driver races down the interstate with both headlights extinguished. In his beguiling collection, Simeon Sanchez weaves seven stories around a single theme: encountering the truth in dark places.
