Five stories brush up against each other in the fictional metropolis of Blunt City. A man desires to be a modern-day king, a Native challenges the status quo, an immigrant tells his wondrous tale of travel, an archivist searches for a piece of film history, and a businessman finds his personal inhibitions lifted. The short fiction anthology spins yarns that are satirical, comical, pensive, timely, and absurd. These are the Blunt City Chronicles.
