Description: "A cat culler in an Arizona trailer park community mulls his daily routine. An old mercenary explains the history of edible eel in New Zealand. A divorce  plays homewrecker across Finland and Russia while his worldly possessions sit in a full self-storage unit. The dark and stunning stories in Add This to the List of Things That You Are explore how we sustain relationships when everything goes sideways and how we find meaning when the old patterns and structures of life give way. Many of Chris Fink&#x2019;s characters have outgrown their rural roots but still feel ill-equipped for the urbane scenarios in which they find themselves. Many of the narratives center on the melancholic dislocations of Midwestern men&#x2014;dislocations provoked by forces ranging from the unknown terrain of travel to emerging romantic relationships."--Provided by publisher.
