Man Receives A Letter

In Peter Gordon’s debut collection Man Receives Letter and Other Stories, the fragility and mystery of human relationships are explored between husbands and wives, fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, and colleagues at work. Originally published in Ploughshares, The New Yorker, The Yale Review, The Southern Review, Glimmer Train, and elsewhere, these stories have earned a Pushcart Prize, inclusion in literary anthologies and multiple citations on the distinguished stories list that is part of the annual Best American Short Stories series.
