Overview
In his second collection of short stories, James Leo Herlihy explores a landscape at the fringes of society. Drawn with his signature humor and deft dialogue, Herlihyās characters search for the fragments of meaning that have gone missing from their lives.
In the titular story, Mary Ellen McClureās unfulfilled, trailer park life is driven to the breaking point when she suspects her husband of having an affair. But when a Ouija board gives her the message that she will have an affair of her own, Mary Ellen becomes enamored with the fantasyāand resolves to go looking for her mysterious lover.
Other stories tell of Consilada Rector, who canāt get people to believe in the leprechaun that presides over her husbandās bar; Mrs. Dorothy Fitzpatrick, who records the existence of a ghostly mail delivery truck; and a dying man who comes to stay with a mother and her blessed son William.
