Short Tempers: Collected Stories

By Jonathan Katzenelson

What's inside:

Nothing Lasts Forever
When your father's legacy looks like a suitcase full of burned Armani, grudges, and psychedelic souvenirs, you learn two things fast: closure is a myth, and family is the original disaster. A funny, bittersweet story about inheritance, or the lack thereof, the emotional kind, and the ghosts we carry until we decide to put them down.

Mr. Sandwich
The best food in town is made by a man who doesn't want you there. He yells at onions. He hangs up on customers who say "um." He refuses to serve avocados, even when they're on the menu. And yet every bite is unforgettable. A coming-of-age tale about obsession, stubbornness, and the strange connection between a drifting young man and a chef who doesn't believe in small talk or second chances.

Band Practice
An amateur musician joins a cover band and meets friendship and hostility.

For fans of offbeat literary humor and character-driven stories about family, food, music, and the trouble we make for ourselves.
