Morgan Talty’s debut collection is enchanting, with stories that follow the same people and the same places amidst shifts in role and experience along a nonlinear timeline.  On a Penobscot reservation, a young boy gradually grows up, his perspective countered in other stories by that of himself in early adulthood.  Talty’s stories are made of connection and play, survival and addiction, softness, danger.  They explore that which is inherited, that which is inevitable, that which can be changed, that which cannot.  They are often humorous and often sad, and they are brimming with life.
