We Should Be Somewhere by Now: Stories - Paperback

by Stephen Tuttle (Author)

The citizens of a small town discover that one of their own has gone missing, but also that this neighbor knew more about them than they know about each other. A group of amnesiac meteorologists find themselves in a wasteland and seem incapable of consensus on even the most basic questions. A husband discovers that his wife is shrinking but feels unable to help her or even get her to acknowledge her condition. The lives of the people in We Should Be Somewhere by Now are at turns magical and mundane, wonderful and pedestrian, feeling lost or antagonized where they most expect friendship and family. With singular style and grace, Stephen Tuttle explores what it means to be a stranger in familiar places and among familiar people.
