Book Overview

by Max Talley (Author)

Go for a swim in the restless sea of Max Talley's mind in his third collection, Destroy Me Gently, Please. Featuring sixteen stories about men and women recovering from broken marriages or lost jobs, desperate to start over again, of 70s rock stars past their glory years, fighting to remain relevant and regain fame, about teenagers eager to grow up and escape stifling towns. Troubled drifters, middle-aged dreamers, unreliable narrators, and reliable procrastinators all hoping for a last shot at glory. These stories range from big cities on the East and West Coast, to small towns in the Southwest, and even over to London.
