Last Car over the Sagamore Bridge (Little, Brown) is the long-awaited second collection of stories from a writer whose first was hailed as "one of the best story collections of the last decade" (Kevin Brockmeier). In his new book, Peter Orner zeroes in on the strange ways our memories define us, presenting a kaleidoscope of individual lives viewed in startling, intimate close-up. In stories that span considerable geographic ground, he writes of the past we can't seem to shake, the losses we can't make up for, and how our stories help us reclaim what we thought was gone forever.
