Description

"In his debut short story collection, Peter Jordan reveals glimpses into the lives and frailties of outsiders. This exploration takes the reader from the pool of a captive orca, to the gypsum dunes of New Mexico, and the warzones of the Middle East, to a seaside cottage in County Donegal. Calls to Distant Places examines the human vulnerabilities of the perpetually unwanted: addicts, oddities and the mentally ill."--Back cover
