From Publisher:

A disabled trucker builds his dream house from Lincoln Logs. A woman rems from a mastectomy to find the dog-trainer she loves imprisoned for selling stolen goods. A recent divorcee fantasizes about time travel in a tanning booth and wishes for a future "unbounded by time and space or custody arrangements". These are some of the people that inhabit the world of Midnight Magic, a collection of the best short stories by Bobbie Ann Mason.

In her signature style, Mason moves quietly through the lives of her Kentucky people, capturing their tangled aspirations and buried disappointments. Men and women struggle with the ironies of modern life in a traditional rural society, trying to cope with shopping malls, television evangelism, women's lib, and MTV.

With an introduction by the author, this timeless collection chronicles the lives of contemporary people as they confront our perplexed society. As one character puts it, "Nobody knows anything. The answers are always changing".
