The Number You Have Reached
by Melvin Sterne
"Sterne’s stories are remarkable in the range and depth of the settings, the characters, and the universal longings that roil within them. They command a reader in the way fine writing sometimes can, from a sensibility that has experienced widely and knows much. The Number You Have Reached is a splendid collection from a brilliant new voice." —Robert Olen Butler, author of A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain.
