The Matter Is Life Paperback - 1992
by J. California Cooper
American Book Award-winner J. California Cooper spins insight and irony into modern-day parables about simple people who love too little and too late, and about those who toil and struggle against a difficult and often hostile environment. This fourth collection of Cooper's unforgettable stories is alternately charming, disturbing, poignant, and humorous.
From the jacket flap
A fourth collection of stories by the award-winning author.
