American Crumble

After reading Sayville Tales (which I loved), getting my hands on this short story was a must. And I wasn't disappointed. Death and the Devil on holiday somewhere in America – it's a very Switzer set-up. From here he submerges us in a cold bath that's brimming with regret, economic destruction, gambling addiction, and afterlife rock stardom. Funny, heartbreaking and delightfully bizarre all on a few pages. Short stories like this make me a very happy reader. Fully recommended!
