Horse thief and other stories

"Horse Thief is a truly trans-Atlantic multicultural book with stories located in London and the Pacific Northwest, tales about Roma Gypsies, Native Americans, Iranians, and other immigrants - working-class people struggling to find their way in urban society. In each case, the situation breaks open into something more than the purely personal, into something moral or political. Horse Thief is about being alive and developing survival skills in the face of adversity."--BOOK JACKET.
