What the Statue Thinks: A Collection of Short Stories

By Michael Goodwin Hilton

A recovering alcoholic must face his demons in the 'land of the dead.' Two actresses become dangerously consumed by an experimental approach to making theatre. A married couple travels to their old vacation spot in search of everything they've lost. A neighborhood's misguided efforts to remove a gaggle of domestic geese lead to the transformation of a young boy. Two lifeguards wrestle over thorny questions of guilt and accountability in the long shadow of 9/11. The owner of a local bike store and a misjudged teenager enter onto a tragic collision course one fateful night. Set principally in the Jersey Shore area, these eleven stories portray people who somehow manage to wrest a strange and singular beauty from the ordeals that define their lives.
