- Summary
- "The Meagre Tarmac" is master storywriter Clark Blaise's first new collection of short fiction in nearly two decades. A suite of linked stories about the trials and tribulations of several generations of Indo Americans, "The Meagre Tarmac" reminds readers why Blaise is one of the most important storywriters of his generation, and a true North American treasure. This is vintage Blaise: stories straddling borders, clashing cultures and traditions, poverty, affluence, despair, and hope, offering an outsider's view of the changing heart of America that is both ruthless and profoundly moving.
