Another book by one of my new favorite Southern writers. See my review of Ferris Beach for details re author."Nine Fabulous New Short Stories... all of them about characters traveling off the beaten path. ..story Final Vinyl Days about a guy who graduated (some time ago) with a 3.7 in English Lit who plans to keep clerking in a vintage vinyl shop forever. .....It's a Funeral! RSVP! about a woman who plans what she calls Going-Out Parties. Her clients aren't the survivors, but the soon-to-be deceased themselves. ...frank and funny , novel-worthy McCorkle characters you won't forget."
