Book excerpt: Alexander MacLeod's first collection of short stories offers a suite of darkly urban and unflinching elegies for a city and community on the brink. Anger and violence simmer just beneath the surface and often boil over, resulting in both tragedy and tragedy barely averted. But as bleak as these stories sometimes are, there is also hope, beauty and understanding. Alexander McLeod's stories are as disturbing, compelling and true as any currently being written in this or any country.
