How the Indians Buried Their Dead: Stories — Hilary Masters

The fourteen stories in Masters?s third collection are set in New England, upstate New York, and various European locales. They range from a late-blooming romance between two shoeshine booth operators to uninvited mourners crashing the funerals of people they don?t know, from a felon-turned-chef watching his son sample his savory meatloaf to a dual tale involving two unlikely murderers.
