Nancy Burke, "Death Cleaning and Other Units of Measure"

Join Nancy Burke for the launch of her book of short stories, Death Cleaning and Other Units of Measure.
You will laugh, weep and roll your eyes at these unreliable characters, among them a man in love with the voice of his GPS, a teenage couple hiding flaws as they discover love, and a young wife inspired by a dead seagull to do what she needs to do. These stories deal with the vulnerability of well-intentioned people and the ephemeral 'units of measure' that are part of how we see the world. The personal touches on the universal with Burke's seemingly ordinary characters; they have much to show us about our own foibles and about how we live every day in that space between the ideal and the real.
