Astronauts And Other Stories

The Story

'In 'Astronauts,' the title story, two brothers - one manic depressive and the other just divorced - drive across the country in a last-ditch attempt at reconciliation. In 'Make Them Laugh,' a priest is put on parole for crashing his car into a police vehicle, and keeps his tooth in a jar to remind himself what drinking seven glasses of whisky can do. 'Ross Willow's New and Used Cars' centers on a used car salesman who loses his son in the Vietnam War, then his family in the aftermath.
