But in this anthology of ten short stories, J. L. Larson shows a different side of the state via unique tales of conflict, adventure, and intrigue that often transport characters outside it borders.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn July of 1970, at a benign looking intersection in the middle of Minnesota farmland, a fateful mishap occurs yet again! What is it about this seemingly nondescript junction that makes it such a repetitive and bloody deathtrap? Is it the terrain, the weather, the drivers—or a combination of these and maybe a few other factors? In another story, a paper company executive and his wife must cope with an empty nest and the loss of his job. He’s doing fine … until he receives a strange, late-night call about his self-centered, malicious nemesis from the old job. In tale after tale, Larson showcases eclectic characters who embark on adventures that include a disaster on a popular lake, an emotional confrontation in a university classroom, the mysterious travel exploits experienced by a young man with his uncle, and the recurring, dramatic impact on a young teen as his life moves forward following a seemingly insignificant encounter.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Accident at Sanborn Corners and Other Minnesota Short Stories\u003c\/i\u003e is an entertaining compilation of situations and themes that illustrate how various characters cope with the unexpected in life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130661191920,"sku":"9781475977769","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781475977769_p0.jpg?v=1763607515","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781475977769","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
