The Whole Story and Other Stories

Summary

From the critically acclaimed, award-winning author comes a collection of uniquely inventive stories that thread
the labyrinth of coincidence, chance, and connections missed and made.
What happens when you run into Death in a busy train station? (You know he’s Death because when he smiles,
your cell phone goes dead.) What if your lover falls in love with a tree? Should you be jealous? From the woman
pursued by a band of bagpipers in full regalia to the artist who’s built a seven-foot boat out of secondhand
copies of The Great Gatsby, Smith’s characters are offbeat, charming, sexy, and as wonderfully complex as life
itself.
