Sage Webb

Love and Other Misunderstandings Sage Webb

An itinerant freegan, a burned-out criminal-defense attorney, and a fruitcake-turned-firecracker are just some of the characters and surprises Sage Webb offers in this collection of stories, musings, and "flash fiction." Whether skimming across Galveston Bay by boat, rolling through Chicago by bus and rideshare, or twirling across the salsa dance floor through the will of the saints, these pieces speak of love, hope, and the faith that spins the world. Or sometimes they just provide a dark laugh at the expense of the human condition. *** Precise, authentic, quirky, and unstinting, each episode lives up to Red City Review's description of Webb's work as "captivating" and "extremely skillful." Stories in this collection include a number of award nominees and winners, such as "Francis Roy Winters, Esq., Dives Off a Dock" (short listed for the 2018 Chester B. Himes Memorial Short Fiction Prize) and "Queen" (second place in the 2017 Hackney Literary Awards).
