By:"Bret Norwood"
Published on 2013-10-15 by TabLit

Featuring the short stories “Worth Liking,” “Like the Buddhas of Bamiyan,” and “So Clothes the Grass” plus five more, Tales of the Credit Card Age presents contemporary tales of debt and freedom, aspiration and a lack of direction, tales of travel and Internet lurking. Credit Card Age is e-fiction for the Facebook era, containing single-sitting-sized contemporary stories. In the lead story, “Worth Liking,” we see a young man come out of the Facebook woodwork to like something worthwhile, and although it is an almost trivial act, it stands for the culmination of a long history between a boy and a girl. Tales of the Credit Card Age brings you the experiences of an alcohol-soaked and ocean-side marriage of youths on the island of Maui, a typical evening in a group home for mentally disabled adults, a campfire with a dreamy-eyed young writer, and an early-morning drive among the Joshua trees of the high Mojave desert. Stories in this collection originally appeared in The Owen Wister Review, Open Window Review, and Laramie’s indie periodical, News From Nowhere.
