Acid

A collection of prize-winning short stories from the author of The Family Corleone. Whether writing about a 22-year-old Wisconsin boy in London who's having misgivings about becoming a drug smuggler, or an aging actor trying to seduce his friend's wife, Falco's stories are always interested in the choices his characters make and in the inevitable consequences of those choices. The stories in Acid were first published in The Atlantic Monthly, The Best American Short Stories, The Missouri Review, The Southern Review, Ploughshares and other leading American literary journals; and the collection won The Richard Sullivan Prize from the University of Notre Dame, and was a finalist for The Patterson Prize. A collection of 13 stories. They range from Tell Me What It Is, on the plight of an aging TV actress, to Smugglers, on the qualms of a budding drugs smuggler. By the author of Winter in Florida
