description: Strolling like a possum through neighborhood yards Sherrie Flick takes it all in: the paperboy seduced over a glass of milk; the dinner prepared for a dead man; the boy on the foyer floor considering a spray of yellow paint. In Whiskey Etc. its the particulars that draw you closerthe stained coffee cups curled-up dogs woodburning stoves and canoes snug in their shedsto a muddled loneliness housed behind crystalline windows. To follow Flicks cowboypossum saunter across these dazzling short (short) stories is to visit life desperate and languid and dolefully funny where it happens.
