Marine Park: Stories

An astute, lively, and heartfelt debut story collection by an exciting new voice in contemporary fiction

Marine Park—in the far reaches of Brooklyn, train-less and tourist-free—finds its literary chronicler in Mark Chiusano. Chiusano?s dazzling stories delve into family, boyhood, sports, drugs, love, and all the weird quirks of growing up in a tight-knit community on the edge of the city. In the tradition of Junot Díaz?s Drown, Stuart Dybek?s The Coast of Chicago, and Russell Banks?s Trailerpark, this is a poignant and piercing collection—announcing the arrival of a distinct new voice in American fiction.
