Aprašymas
Minnesota is known for frigid weather, thousands of lakes, and Scandinavian humor. But in his anthology of ten short stories, J. L. Larson shows a different side of the state via unique tales of conflict, adventure, and intrigue that often transport characters outside its borders. In July of 1970, at a benign looking intersection in the middle of Minnesota farmland, a fateful mishap occurs. Two drivers have just sped through the Sanborn Corners junction, not realizing that the intersection has earned a reputation as a bloody deathtrap. Now everyone wants answers to the grisly question: what brought each of these people to Sanborn Corners at precisely the same time? A paper company executive and his wife must now cope with an empty nest and the loss of his job. He's doing fine-until he receives a strange, late-night phone call that he will never forget regarding his nemesis from his old job. In tale after tale, Larson showcases eclectic characters who embark on adventures that include a disaster on a popular lake, an emotional confrontation in a university classroom, and a golf tournament that tests four men in unimaginable ways. The Accident at Sanborn Corners is an entertaining compilation of short stories that illustrate the diversity of a region and its residents as each attempt to cope with the unexpected in life.
