Finalist in the prestigious Frank O'Connor International Short Story Collection Award  "Exceptionally entertaining and thought-provoking!" --Raging Bibliomania   "A polished gem from a gifted artist" --critic Grady Harp Months and Seasons is the follow-up story collection to Christopher Meeks's award-winning The Middle-Aged Man and the Sea. With a combination of main characters from young to old and with drama and humor, the tales pursue such people as a supermodel who awakens after open-heart surgery, a famous playwright who faces a firestorm consuming the landscape, a reluctant man who attends a Halloween party as Dracula, and a New Yorker who thinks she's a chicken. "Christopher Meeks's quirky stories are lyrical and wonderfully human. Enjoy," says Sandra Tsing Loh, author of A Year in Van Nuys.
