Nine long stories and essays, originally published in the acclaimed Ploughshares Solos digital series, create this fourth annual print collection.
Visit a small island off the coast of Maine where the reappearance of an old friend might just push a painter suffering from artist’s block over the edge. Meet a newly divorced lecturer of critical theory who, in an effort to spice up his life, gets more than he bargained for. Tag along with a teenage figure-skating star as she returns to Bosnia for the first time since being orphaned during the siege of Sarajevo. The nine long stories and essays that compose the fourth volume of our Solos Omnibus are layered and subversive, and thwart expectation at every turn.
