Here Comes Another Lesson: Stories (Free Press)
Stephen O'Connor will read from and sign new short story collection, Here Comes Another Lesson.
"The main lesson of this book is that there are still fiction writers out there brave enough to take serious risks. For O'Connor, the risks pay off lavishly. Here is a collection of great feeling, range and power." —Sam Lipsyte (The Ask)
