博客來Harvest is the thrilling follow-up to Richard Scharine’s debut collection, The Past We Step Into, published by Atmosphere Books. This gripping book of six short stories takes readers on a journey through time and place, exploring the complexities of growing up in dangerous and unpredictable circumstances.
From the Wisconsin farms of Scharine’s youth to the vivid hallucinations of his own cancer experience, each story is set in a locale that the author knows intimately. Three stories are set in the picturesque landscape of Utah where diverse characters meet unique challenges: a Mormon matron deals with a series of memories, a failing Triple A baseball player faces a questionable future, and a present-day outcast contemplates his fate in front of Topaz, the World War II Japanese internment camp.
These thought-provoking stories carry a stark warning - growing up doesn’t always lead to survival. Be prepared for moments of tension and heart-stopping suspense as you join Richard Scharine on his captivating exploration of what it means to grow up in America.
