Without a Hero

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • From the award–winning author of The Tortilla Curtain comes fifteen “gloriously comic . . . stories [that] are more than funny, better than wicked” ( The Philadelphia Inquirer ). “Fifteen sterling tales marked . . . by a keen sense of the absurd and a . . . compassionate awareness of human frailty.”— The Washington Post   The stunning stories in Without a Hero each, in their own way, display a virtuosity and versatility rare in literary America.
