About the Book

In this story from Kevin Moffett's dazzling new collection, Further Interpretations of Real-Life Events, an immigrant working at an amusement park faces a daunting, dramatic decision when he loses one of his dental crowns. "Having a choice," Maxim realizes, "only meant he was going to make the wrong choice."

About the Author :
Kevin Moffett's stories have appeared in McSweeney's, Tin House, American Short Fiction, and elsewhere, as well as in three editions of The Best American Short Stories. He is the winner of the Nelson Algren Award, a Pushcart Prize, and the 2010 National Magazine Award for the title story. He lives in Claremont, California.

Review :
"The first thing you notice reading the stories in Further Interpretations of Real-Life Events is the author's extraordinary range--of expertise, technique, imagination and wit. There doesn't seem to be much Kevin Moffett can't do." - Richard Russo "Kevin Moffett's stories are stealth heartbreakers, as well as wonders of sly detail and perfect tone. He's writing some of the best short fiction around." - Sam Lipsyte "Moffett's prize-winning short stories have been extensively and prestigiously published, and it's easy to see why: Moffett's work is melancholy and funny at the same time, with an uncanny knack for giving weighty topics a weightlessness that manages to make them graver rather than lighter. . . . Language soars in unexpected directions. . . . This collection will leave readers grateful to have encountered characters who are as odd as they are, as sad as they may be, and as stupidly hopeful." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Moffett's work is melancholy and funny at the same time. . . . Language soars in unexpected directions. . . . This collection will leave readers grateful to have encountered characters who are as odd as they are, as sad as they may be, and as stupidly hopeful." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "The stories in Further Interpretations of Real-Life Events are as enormously funny as they are enormously sad. Kevin Moffett deals in wisdom, humor, and sympathy with extraordinary fluency; his stories conduct feasibility studies on the possibility of things like human connection and love, and the results, while never ambiguous, are always as unsettling as they are reassuring. And this seems to me about as close as you can come to writing the truth about life." - Chris Adrian "These stories are as enormously funny as they are enormously sad. Moffett deals in wisdom, humor, and sympathy with extraordinary fluency; the results are always as unsettling as they are reassuring. And this seems to me about as close as you can come to writing the truth about life." - Chris Adrian "Humor is too often heartless, sheer cleverness lacking content. Kevin Moffett is a member of that delightful minority that takes up the ordinary to reveal the extraordinary. These stories are funny, insightful, and reveal, but never strive for, true depth." - Alice Sebold "Marvelous stories." - Vanity Fair "There is simply nothing better than the author who can cut straight to the heart of things, yet deliver brutal punches with a sharp, witty mood, makes us sit up straight no matter what our attention span. Kevin Moffett is one of those writers-brisk, funny, whip-smart, and worth forming a habit for. Further Interpretations of Real-Life Events is one of the most delightful collections in recent memory. . . . It's rare to see as bright a star as Moffett on the literary scene. With this lovely collection, he is one to watch." - The Rumpus "One of the most delightful collections in recent memory. . . . It's rare to see as bright a star as Moffett on the literary scene. With this lovely collection, he is one to watch." - The Rumpus
