Detecting Metal — Fred Bonnie

In this, Bonnie's sixth story collection, you'll quickly see why Erskine Caldwell called Bonnie's third collection, Too Hot & Other Maine Stories, "a masterful achievement." The praise for Bonnie's work continued, for Publishers Weekly called him "a master raconteur." Why? Simple enough: Bonnie was a writer unafraid to write a story that's a story. With loving strokes he depicted character, plot, conflict, and resolution -- a combination all too hard to find in contemporary short fiction.
