(Note: The Box Top Man is a collection of three short stories, all of which are also available in a larger collection entitled Daggyland #2, by the same author.)
INFIDELITY An insecure housewife falls for a man she won in a contest.
MURDER A dying man delays breaking the truth to his wife in order to hear the juicy gossip of a neighborhood slaying.
BETRAYAL A self-absorbed shrink is haunted by a childhood crime.
D'Agnese gives us three stories that read like Cheever gone slumming, where disillusioned characters dwell in the realm of the surreal.
