Everyone has a story. Every family has one, too. I recently read a book titled Small World by Jonathan Evison. Mr. Evison weaves together several American family stories that converge in a train wreck and wend away from each other. I think it could be a great American novel similar to John Steinbeck's and F. Scott Fitzgerald's works, among others. It's been a while since a novel made me think the way this one did.
