In "Jerry with a Twist," nothing is easy - at least not for Jerry, an out-of-work actor who needs work badly with his girlfriend pregnant with a child they both want. Will today's audition go well? Will the actress coming on to him spoil things? The many twists on Jerry's journey make him wonder. This story is part of a series of new tales from Christopher Meeks of modern life in America. The print comes with two extra stories, "Green River" and "Divining." When Christopher Meeks's first short story collection, "The Middle-Aged Man and the Sea," came out, the Los Angeles Times called his work "poignant and wise, sympathetic to the everyday struggles the characters face." Entertainment Weekly wrote it was a "stunning" collection. He continues here with his trademark insight and humor.
