A boy watches his mother hooked and reeled ashore by a fisherman.
A man builds a swing in the backyard to sit between his wife and her lover.
A couple gives up their seat on a bus for lovers soon to be parted.
A boy sees his mother come to life gliding on roller skates.
Lloyd Jones's The Man in the Shed is a haunting collection of stories about family and longing. Jones's extraordinary tales take conventional family situations and tilt them sideways, delivering a memorable, beautiful blend of the suburban and the surreal.
