Elephant: Short Stories and Flash Fiction
ByPublisher Description
In this debut collection of stories, Jim Breslin explores the soul of suburbia; the disenfranchised and the desperate. The characters in these twenty-one stories struggle to mend relationships and find redemption. A man is tempted by memories when his drunk ex-wife pays a surprise visit. A couple wrestles with their fruitless attempts to have children. An eccentric homeowner issues a series of comical concerns to his lawn care company. A husband tests the reciprocity of his wife’s love only to find himself in the throes of a dangerous free fall. Sometimes funny, often sad, the unsettling stories in Elephant portray the suburban landscape of loneliness and hope.

“I received this book from a goodreads giveaway some time ago and just now got around to reading it. I don't know what held me back, though, because this book was amazing.
I will admit some of the stories were a little hit or miss for me, but the majority are really great. I find there's a shortage of good "short fiction" and whenever I find a writer who is proficient at it, they automatically get added to my watch list.
I will definitely be recommending this book to friends and fellow readers.”
