In The Luck of the Fall, characters get lost; they fall, but the falls shape their lives in ways that might even be called "lucky"--if luck is defined as survival, despite the scars left behind. They take consolation in their lack of prizes, in the clarity of their failures, while approaching the future with gallows humor and jaded naivety. The logic of the heart wins out in this short-fiction collection set along Eight Mile Road on the edge of Detroit.
