Book 28: Coronado by Dennis Lehane

This is a collection of short stories and a play by Lehane. Last year I read a collection of stories Lehane edited. I liked the story that he wrote in that collection. 

The stories in Coronado are about sad or bad people in sad or bad situations. My favorite story was "Until Gwen." It had a second person point of view, which is unusual. Lehane liked the story too. The characters stayed with him, and he ended up writing a play called "Coronado" the last selection in the book. It's another bleak story, but I like to think it has a hopeful ending of sorts.
