Grind

This is prime American fiction–tough, generous, and open-eyed.
–ALYSON HAGY, author of Boleto Maynard’s debut collection bursts with idiosyncratic characters…packs a strong emotional punch.
–PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Convicts round up wild mustangs, a schizophrenic homeless man wins the jackpot and disappears, a truck driver with a child’s mind spends his last hours in the embrace of a prostitute’s photos. Disparate and vivid, Mark Maynard’s characters intersect in the new wild west of Reno, Nevada.
