Set in the kitchen of a steakhouse, a bar, a beach and the apartment of a thumb-less crystal meth addict, “Nick Trail’s Thumb” combines poetry, prose and modern life in Maui. Lydia Davis selected this novella as the winner of the Kore Press Short Fiction contest. Davis says this about the book: “Finally, other contenders were rudely shoved out of the way by the vitality of ‘Nick Trail’s Thumb.’ In this story I found an unusual setting, interesting form, good section titles, arresting specifics, fresh metaphors, engaging insights, believable strong dialogue, and rhythmic prose.
