Synopsis: A Vintage Shorts “Short Story Month” Selection
 
As his parents’ marriage disintegrates, a precocious if distracted fifth-grader starts to daydream about baseball, spaghetti, and his place in the universe.

A selection from Russo’s tenderhearted collection of short stories, The Whore’s Child.
 
An ebook short.
