New York & Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1997. dj. Hardcover first edition - The author's first book, a collection of short stories set in desolate landscapes which explores the underbelly of contemporary America. Despite being praised by writers such as Thom Jones ("one of those rare writers who is as funny as he is profound"), Daniel Woodrell ("the stories are matter-of-fact, then lacerating, then humbly visionary and suddenly unforgettable"), Larry Brown and others, this remains Lattimore's only book. 211 pp. ISBN: 0-395854075.
