In \"Rattlesnakes\" three young Americans, lost in the desert, are accosted by two armed Mexicans. A Korean chef and a Chicago socialite find themselves connected through the disappearance of a pooch named Toto in \"The D.O.G.S. of Lincoln Park.\" And in the title story, Mickey Baker--an ex-pat English bar owner living on the Costa Brava--tries to keep all of his balls in the air: maintaining his barmaid's weight at the sexual maximum, attending to the youthful Persephone, and dodging his ex-wife and Spanish gangsters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In typically Welshian fashion, the characters and settings are anything but typical.
