7 Greyhounds
by Wade Lundgren
40 pages. Tape-bound.
Cover and Book Design by Grant Ashcroft.
Continuing The Cupboard’s tradition of publishing public-transit lit is Wade Lundgren’s new collection. It’s seven stories, seven encounters, seven long trips on buses through America. Remember buses? Right now somewhere there’s a bus hurtling through the night, its riders sleepy, its tires thrumming. In every tight seat there’s a story unraveling: the girls sharing an iPod, this same old paperback of Orwell essays, the little boy trying his seat-partner’s patience. Lundgren captures the truths of them all in seven frankly told tales that’ll stay with you long after the sun comes up. Safe travels.
