Do you read? Do you like Philadelphia? You'll love Philly Fiction 2! This much anticipated follow-up to Philly Fiction features new voices and stories that capture the heartbeat of Philadelphia. As unique and diverse as the people and neighborhoods that make up the city, the stories in Philly Fiction 2 reveal conflict and characters that are at once universal and intrinsically "Philadelphia." A contractor known for his honestly slides into the sleazy world of loan sharks. A young girl from the suburbs is intimidated by the worldliness of Northeast Philly girls. In Roxborough a young couple kills time by visiting condos they have no intention of buying. In Center City a homeless woman haunts a woman who bears a likeness to her dead daughter. And in South Philly a plumber experiences the phenomenon of hoagie so good it causes orgasms. Set in Northern Liberties, South Philly, Rittenhouse Square, Olney, Manayunk, Mount Airy, West Philly and other iconic Philadelphia neighborhoods, these powerful, humorous, must-read tales by established and up-and-coming writers invite readers to experience the City of Brotherly Love as they never have before.
