Excerpt from My Host the Enemy, and Other Tales: Sketches of Life and Adventure on the Border Line of the West The incidents of actual adventure upon our remote frontiers have often been of a startling nature, sur passing even the inventions of the fiction writer. Out of the experience of a boyhood spent in the upper Missouri country, and ten years of after life as plains man and mountaineer, this little volume of stories is written. In it the writer has attempted to preserve the true spirit of adventure and the real atmosphere of our later American frontier. Many of the inci dents related were oi actual occurrence, and in two or three instances I am indebted to western newspapers for the materials of the story. In one of these narra tives, marked in the index, there is an adaptation of a pioneer's story so simply and earnestly told that it carried in its atmosphere the best evidence of truth.

"An unnamed American city feeling the effects of a war waged far away and suffering from bad weather is the backdrop for this startling work of fiction. The protagonists are aimless young men going from one blue collar job to the next, or in a few cases, aspiring to middle management. Their everyday struggles--with women, with the morning commute, with a series of cruel bosses--are somehow transformed into storytelling that is both universally resonant and wonderfully uncanny. That is the unsettling, funny, and ultimately heartfelt originality of Saïd Sayrafiezadeh's short fiction, to be at home in a world not quite our own but with many, many lessons to offer us"--
