Water & Power Stories

"These 17 imaginative short stories parody modern existence. In the title story a man is late in sending a check to the Water and Power Company, which threatens to turn off his electricity and water if he doesn't pay soon. He forgets, and when he walks outside he finds that the city has disappeared and he's lost in a primitive jungle filled with condors and wolves. In the gritty and clever story 'Tonto,' we meet the Lone Ranger's sidekick, who has become a short-order cook in a New Mexico town after the death of his partner. In the amusing story 'I Married Elvis' a woman meets her friend's lover, who looks just like Elvis and has the same effect on women. Mr. Boyd, the author of three other books, is ironic and playful."Boyd, Greg is the author of 'Water & Power Stories', published 1991 under ISBN 9781878580337 and ISBN 1878580337.
