description: "In this great age of the American short story, T. Alan Broughton . . . is a master of the form, one of our best and brightest." -- <i>George Garrett, author of <i>Going to See the Elephant: Pieces of a Writing Life</i></i>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"[Broughtons] characters are as varied as their circumstances, and one reads about them hardly recollecting that it is the story-tellers eloquence and art . . . that endow them with such authentic life." --<i>Paula Fox, author of <i>Borrowed Finery</i></i>
