Moving Parts - Paperback

by Lana Pesch (Author)

A blind date blooms in a grocery store parking lot. Lake Erie forms the backdrop to a botched assisted suicide. A neurotic, dog-loving caretaker writes a complaint letter after an unfortunate leg-waxing incident. A coming-of-age road trip leads to encounters with a gang of costumed lesbian arm wrestlers and a man with a hoof. Equal parts insightful and heartbreaking, Moving Parts is an evocative and playful story collection that pulls back the curtain on what it means to be truly human.
