Drinking Coffee Elsewhere

by ZZ Packer

The characters in this short-story collection from an acclaimed new voice in American fiction are all too human in their struggle to find a place in the world.

They include a group of vengeful Brownies; evangelical Sister Clarice; Spurgeon Bivens, who has just bailed his father out of jail; and Dina, a college student who undergoes an emotional awakening.
