Fiction. In his Foreword, Robert Creeley writes of AND WORKING, Douglas Gunn's first "I've long respected Douglas Gunn's authority as a writer, and in this singular collection of stories he makes clear to all the remarkable power of his art.... These stories are exceptional in the way they make syntax, the linkage of the words themselves, a uniquely sensitive ground for all that situation and persons might otherwise tell us in a necessarily generalized way.... AND WORKING proves a collection of quiet genius by a compassionately determined man."
