"J.S. Kierland is that rare writer, one who can deal with both urban and rural themes in masterful fashion. This gift allows him to write about a wide range of disparate characters and settings with astonishing precision and power. His taut prose style, innate sense of drama and ability to look at life in an unflinching but always compassionate way are everywhere in evidence in this remarkable collection of stories." -–Willard Manus editor/publisher of lively-arts.com; author of Mott The Hoople.
About the author:
A graduate of the Yale school of Drama, Joseph Kierland was founder and director of the Los Angeles Playwright’s Group and was Playwright-in-residence at New York's Lincoln Center, Brandeis University and the Los Angeles Actor’s Theater.
