Set in the American south, the characters in these stories restlessly come together and split apart at movie theatres, Olive Garden, CVS, and of course, each other’s beds.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTallent’s stories are linked through his narrator, Flip, so named for how he sleeps with men and women. As we follow him through adolescence and early adulthood, we trace the incredible complexities that occur when you become close with another person. And in that fog of desire lie mermaids, preacher’s sons, meteor showers, The Waster, and the often uncomfortable truths these characters must face.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLukas Tallent lives in New York City.
