Under the Sink

Under the Sink: Selected Works is the debut effort from Washington-based writer DA Peters.  Comprising of a novella and selection of short stories, the marketiing bigwigs describe it as follows:

With a knack for the vernacular and a biting wit, his debut has been likened to Darrell Spencer, John Updike, and Chuck Palahniuk. In the novella, four clerks share their experiences working at a grocery: from alcohol stashed behind the counter, drug addiction, and fidelity – each one deals with problems greater than themselves. Included are two more short stories and a collection of poetry written between 2004-2009
