ONE OF PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2019

From the New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Ruins, the first collection of short fiction from Jess Walter--a suite of diverse and searching stories about personal struggle and diminished dreams, all of them marked by the wry wit, keen eye, and generosity of spirit that has made him a bookseller and reader favorite

These twelve stories--published over the last five years in Harper's, The Best American Short Stories, McSweeney's, Playboy, and other publications--veer from comic tales of love to social satire to suspenseful crime fiction, from hip Portland to once-hip Seattle to never-hip Spokane, from a condemned casino in Las Vegas to a bottomless lake in the dark woods of Idaho. This is a world of lost fathers and redemptive conmen, of meth tweakers on desperate odysseys and men committing suicide by fishing.

We Live in Water is a darkly comic, heartfelt collection of stories from a "ridiculously talented writer" (New York Times), "one of the freshest voices in American literature" (Dallas Morning News).

Comfort& Quality
Size: 20" Neck 35"-36" Sleeve, Color: White
Excellent shirt. Ordered for a Risky Business bar crawl and the fabric was so much nicer than the other two options I ordered. It is packaged so nice with pins and feels luxurious (great if you’re giving it as a gift.) It comes wrinkled from being folded in the packaging, but i steamed it and then it did not wrinkle while driving or sitting throughout the night. It’s nice and light. Only downfall is there is no pleat in the back.

Nice shirt.
Size: 17.5" Neck 35"-36" Sleeve, Color: White
It fit perfectly and looked very nice. However, it was much thinner than I thought. And when you wash it, get ready to iron it. This is not a permanent press shirt. It is not wrinkle resistant. I would not buy it again.

Casual Crew Neck Summer Shirt
Color: Denim Blue, Size: XX-Large
Ordered the dark blue. It fits great and looks wonderful on. Very comfortable! Good value, and feels well made. The fabric is just right – not too thin, or thick. I wore it with a navy blazer and beige pants to an outdoor event (shade and sun) and was totally comfortable.
