There's Something I Want You to Do: Stories

“There’s something I want you to do.”

This request --- sometimes simple, sometimes not --- forms the basis for the 10 interrelated stories that comprise this latest penetrating and prophetic collection from an author who has been repeatedly praised as a master of the form. As we follow a diverse group of Minnesota citizens, each grappling with their own heightened fears, responsibilities and obsessions, Baxter unveils the remarkable in what might otherwise be the seemingly inconsequential moments of everyday life.
