(A murderous trashman covering up his tracks, a teenage so...)
A murderous trashman covering up his tracks, a teenage son conducting studies on fathers, a creepy mountain woman with a peculiar way of training men, a professional baseball player tormented by visions of death, a rock-and-roll burn-out hopelessly addicted to milk. These are but a few of the characters one encounters in the strange but sublime short fiction of James Wronoski. From the city streets of Philadelphia to its privileged suburbs and on into the coal and mountain regions beyond, "The Thaw" takes us on a Pennsylvania odyssey through the hearts and minds of a people struggling to break out of their discontented winters and into the thaw of a more realized spring. In these twenty-two stories, one finds the same unique mixture of sadness and humor that made Wronoski's breakthrough novel, "Knaves In Boyland," an instant cult classic. Connected by the recurring theme of man melting out of his cold outer shell and into the individual within, the characters in these stories will haunt the read long after the last page is turned.

(Not since the days of Benjamin Franklin has Philadelphia ...)
Not since the days of Benjamin Franklin has Philadelphia witnessed a revolution quite like this one. In this offbeat and side-splitting satire of college life in the 1980s, award-winning author James Wronoski probes the underbelly of campus life and manages to scrape up the remnants of what would soon become known as Generation X. But if you think you've seen your share of slackers, you ain't seen nothing yet. In a startingly original voice, Wronoski weaves this winding odyssey around a group of ultimately hopeless college students looking for kicks at their crusty Philadelphia university. What they find instead is a tragic and outrageous commencement ceremony in which they get exactly what they asked for. "Knaves In Boyland" reminds us that although the American Dream has its limitations, its pursuit produces an endless byproduct of humor.
