'Signed, Sealed and Delivered reads like a sly, late-night
conspiracy between Hemingway and O. Henry." -Artspike Magazine
In Signed, Sealed and Delivered, author Larry Gross explores the
lives of everyday people, but as each story unfolds, we find
there's nothing ordinary about them at all. Intriguing and
interesting, each story delves into interpersonal relationships: A
traveling salesman meets a young girl in a bar and deception
encompasses the beginning and end of their encounter An unhappily
married man fantasizes about a woman he's watching while they
both wait for the doors to open at a popular discount store An
alcoholic father finds the perfect gift for his son A cheating
husband becomes concerned about a photograph repeatedly sent to his
wife An AIDS volunteer visits his client on a Christmas afternoon
for the last time Candles on a cake alter a young boy's life
forever A businessman comes to realize an old friend is really just
an opportunist and has a long-delayed confrontation. Throughout the
fifteen stories in his collection, Gross delivers the absorbing
tales of these seemingly-common people in his straightforward style
and with absolute clarity.
