In contemporary stories, such as \"Doom Town,\" a festival annually celebrates the survival of the human race by conducting riotous air raids. In \"The Trans-Siberian Railway Comes to Whitehouse,\" a bar owner desperately clings to a new all-things-Russian theme to save himself from financial ruin. Other stories, set in the 1960s, recast the Cuban Missile Crisis, Kennedy assassination, and Space Race in personal histories of the human heart that remind us what it takes to endure--both then, and now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWENDELL MAYO is also author of three more full-length story collections: \u003ci\u003eCentaur of the North\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eB.
