Subway Dancer and Other Stories

SUBWAY DANCER AND OTHER STORIES is a new collection of gripping short fiction by Catherine Ryan Hyde, the bestselling author of many beloved novels, including DONâ€™T LET ME GO and PAY IT FORWARD, and of other critically acclaimed short story collections, including EARTHQUAKE WEATHER and ALWAYS CHLOE.

A striking and emotionally resonant collection, SUBWAY DANCER AND OTHER STORIES is a compilation of stories originally published in some of the most respected literary magazines in the country, including The Antioch Review, Virginia Quarterly Review, Glimmer Train and Ploughshares.

In the award-winning story â€œBloodlines,â€ two neighbors of different ethnicities are friends in spite of their differencesâ€¦until an argument about expensive purebred dogs versus mutts from the pound brings the whole neighborhoodâ€™s precarious balance crashing down. â€œBloodlinesâ€ was reprinted in Bark Magazineâ€™s best-selling anthology Dog is My Co-Pilot and was cited in Best American Short Stories.

In Witness to Breath, a woman living a dangerous life working on the streets takes in an elderly dog left behind when his owner is killed in a robbery. Despite never having been a dog person, their brief relationship changes her in ways she never could have expected.

In Disappearances, a man not fluent in his own emotions tries unsuccessfully to broadside a train in his pickup truck, then spends the rest of the story figuring out the first clue to why heâ€™d try to do such a thing.

Among the other riveting and beautifully crafted stories included in this collection, â€œFive Singing Gardeners and One Dead Strangerâ€ and â€œRequiem For a Flamerâ€ were nominated for the Pushcart Prize, and â€œThe Man Who Found You in the Woodsâ€ was cited in Best American Short Stories.

This collection includes an Authorâ€™s Note by Catherine Ryan Hyde.
