Rumble, Young Man, Rumble

Throughout his debut collection of nine powerful stories, Benjamin Cavell shows us the darker side of being a "real" man. Along with the machismo, the self-assuredness and power comes a heightened sense of fear and mortality, and ultimately a deeper search for comfort, for someone or something to rely upon. Funny and smart, urgent, fearless and emotionally rich, these are stories without an ounce of fat on them. Though his literary forebears may be Ernest Hemingway and Norman Mailer, Benjamin Cavell speaks in a voice entirely his own. Book jacket.
