Marine Park

*• Recipient of a 2015 PEN/Hemingway Award Honorable Mention •*

Marine Park—in the far reaches of Brooklyn, train-less and tourist-free—finds its literary chronicler in Mark Chiusano. Chiusano’s dazzling stories delve into family, boyhood, sports, drugs, love, and all the weird quirks of growing up in a tight-knit community on the edge of the city. In the tradition of Junot Díaz’s Drown , Stuart Dybek’s The Coast of Chicago , and Russell Banks’s Trailerpark , this is a poignant and piercing collection—announcing the arrival of a distinct new voice in American fiction.
