Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Sequential, chatty, and strictly twentieth century in subject and era, these stories revolve around the life of the artist in a world of popular culture; Brian Eno, punk rock groups, and the literary Romantic are the deus ex machina of his machine-age prose . . . Although the never-decreasing gap between family members and loved ones remains a strong theme in Peabody's work, his primary topic is of what's lost when zeal and zest come of age in a malevolent world." -- George Myers Jr. from cover blurb

Reader from Maryland,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Paraffin days: A collection of stories (Paperback)
Excellent collection from a seasoned D.C. Writer! Not a single dud in the bunch. Running through each tale is Peabody's razor wit and deft ability to see in characters and settings that one sparkling detail other writers would miss! A must for serious readers and writers of fiction alike!
