These stories showcase Guterson's gifts for psychological nuance,
emotional suspense, and evocation of the natural world. In these pages,
we meet, among others, a lonely landlord trying to reach out to his
tenants; a middle-aged widower looking for love online; an American Jew
traveling to Berlin to confront his haunted past. Celebrating the
surprises that lurk within the dramas of our daily lives, Problems with
People marks the return of a contemporary American master to the form
that launched his literary career.
