 Highway Trade
"Streetwise and pain-acquainted, John Domini's new story-collection
is a good rich read indeed."
—John Barth
"The Stories in John Domini’s Highway Trade reveal
as vividly as any in recent fiction the unresolvable tension in
American life between
being settled and rootless, between joining a community and pulling
away
toward
the vague promise our culture makes of something better, somewhere
else. In a foggy valley brimming with everything right and wrong
about our country,
Domini's characters waver between generosity and good old-fashioned
American self-interest, between solidity and oblivion. Domini's
is an urgent voice, edgy wild, important."
—Tracy Daugherty
"John Domini's densely textured stories teem with compelling inner and
outer life. He is a master at capturing the complex workings of
minds under stress
and the hard-edged negotiations we make with fate when our backs
are against a wall. He knows how woman and men can behave with
one another. The stories
move swiftly and sinuously, emerging from the everyday to coil
around a reader's heart."
