Veneer : Stories / Steve Yarbrough. - Columbia : University of Missouri Press, 1998. - 213, [1] strona ; 21 cm.
Acclaimed short story writer Steve Yarbrough demonstrates his gift for vividly rendered characters and evocative themes in this collection of fiction. "Veneer" presents a variety of characters from cultural backgrounds and settings that range from California to Mississippi to Eastern Europe. Yarbrough's sensitive portrayals of loss and longing are individual and unsettling; a disaffected college football coach, a movie star with a "substance problem," and a small-town girl coming to grips with the murder of her mother are just a few examples of the turbulent lives he portrays. A poignant theme running through this collection is the conflict between appearance and reality. Yarbrough presents the reader with deep narrative layers, juxtaposing the gritty present with nostalgic recollections of an idealized past or hopeful projections into a rosy future.
