Sobre IBD

A collection of short stories that is novelistic in that there is a timeline, a main character, interconnections among stories. It follows Jack Dugan through a series of mostly demeaning jobs over a 25 year period. The stories are mostly quite short, and eschew the climax and resolution of standard story-telling - they play out the way real life plays out.
