You Wreck Me, Baby Christopher Meeks

In "You Wreck Me, Baby," a Los Angeles man, Javier O'Hara, grapples with his wife's recent separation from him. As he's taking his dogs out for the nightly pee, he feels something worse -- a new kidney stone. Should he call his wife? This story in print form comes with two bonus stories not in the eBook version: "High Occupancy Vehicle" and "A Fundamentals of Nuclear Dating." (The eBook version is a Short Read.) This book is part of a series of short new tales of modern life in America from Christopher Meeks. When his first short story collection, "The Middle-Aged Man and the Sea," came out, the Los Angeles Times called his work "poignant and wise, sympathetic to the everyday struggles the characters face." Entertainment Weekly wrote it was a "stunning" collection. He continues here with his trademark insight and humor.
