Description
Zig Zag Wanderer is no ordinary short story collection. These 18 stories come from Madison Smartt Bell—acclaimed writer of more than a dozen books and National Book Award finalist—who has said that his work has always been dictated by daemons. Stretching from New York to Haiti and beyond, these luminous stories reveal Bell’s sharp eye and deep empathy for his characters—punks, hustlers, mixed figures, and lost souls of all ages, backgrounds, and denominations. Characters who have a foot in two worlds, as Bell says.
