Fiction. "Old 'water hermit' Stu, barely adrift in a world of two–bit marinas, bad choices, and hard times, holds this loosely–linked 'novel in stories' together, and what fine stories they are! Tough, heartbreaking, unforgettable, necessary. Chances are pretty good that you have not met anybody like these desperate characters before, and you haven't read anything like this collection, either. IT TURNS OUT LIKE THIS deserves every reader it can get, and every prize out there." —Lee Smith
