MacTiernan's Bottle

Bag om MacTiernan's Bottle

Collected short stories by Michael Hopping. The renovation of a backwoods motel reveals a previously unknown and powerful fresco, apparently concealed by the artist who created it. A young man, unsure about his own artistic career, asks himself why. In pursuit of an answer, Clayton stumbles across questions about himself he's never thought to ask. The other protagonists in this richly told collection of short stories could well sympathize with Clayton. Some struggle with idealism, others with innocence or what constitutes a healthy family, or such subjects as the dawn of premeditation, the function of art, estrangement from themselves, and whether it's really possible to be selfless and in love. Often humorous and always thought-provoking, MacTiernan's Bottle invites readers to dive into the worlds Michael Hopping has created and discover the lives of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. Like a garden in perpetual bloom, these are stories to revisit again and again.
