Yet as Jess and his wife Alma begin their life together in a nameless Pacific Northwest town, they unhesitatingly descend, with defiant passivity, into every major and minor pitfall that family life and bleak social conformity can offer--from adultery and petty shoplifting to being pressured by neighbors to dig a backbreaking hole for a \"Heritage Pole\" of dubious historical value. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn eighteen disconnected and unsettling stories about a disintegrating marriage and its effect on the next generation, newcomer T.
