Infos

Loners is a collection of short stories about single men struggling to find their place in a world where the social compact between men and women is destroyed and purpose is difficult to find. These are men displaced by events and the times. Many of the stories feature a recurring character named Nick. These stories chronicle Nick's path through adolescence, first sexual experiences, early adulthood, and finally through marriage, kids, and divorce. From his childhood in the early sixties to his adulthood in a workplace increasingly dominated by women, Nick's path is shown in glimpses that advance through the major phases of his life. Other stories are about offshore oil workers, used car lot owners, and life on the waterfront. They are men who have to go it alone, find their own path, and accept the world that makes nothing easy for them. Note that this book contains some material of a sexual nature.
