He chronicles the stories of others who have faced indifference with grace, too-the bus driver reading Irish literature for night school, the old Mainer preparing his homestead for winter, even Leo Tolstoy's last dash from death, which caught up with him at a train station in Astapova. In turns contemplative, humorous, and quixotic, this debut collection is a quiet celebration of everyday life in our preoccupied world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKen Craft, born and raised in Connecticut, now works as a middle school English and social studies teacher.
