In this haunting, bracing new collection, Dan Chaon shares stories of
men, women, and children who live far outside the American Dream, while
wondering which decision, which path, or which accident brought them to
this place. Chaon mines the psychological landscape of his characters to
dazzling effect. Each story radiates with sharp humor, mystery, wonder,
and startling compassion. Among the Missing lingers in the mind
through its subtle grace and power of language.
