"Michael Knight is more than a master of the short story. He knows the true pace of life and does not cheat it, all the while offering whopping entertainment."--Barry Hannah Long considered a master of the form and an essential voice in American fiction, Michael Knight's stories have been lauded by writers such Ann Patchett, Elizabeth Gilbert, Barry Hannah, and Richard Bausch. Now, with Eveningland he returns to the form that launched his career, delivering an arresting collection of interlinked stories set among the "right kind of Mobile family" in the years preceding a devastating hurricane. Grappling with dramas both epic and personal, from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill to the "unspeakable misgivings of contentment," Eveningland captures with crystalline poeticism and perfect authenticity of place the ways in which ordinary life astounds us with its complexity. A teenaged girl with a taste for violence holds a burglar hostage in her house on New Year's Eve; a middle aged couple examines the intricacies of their marriage as they prepare to throw a party; and a real estate mogul in the throes of grief buys up all the property on an island only to be accused of madness by his daughters. These stories, told with economy and precision, infused with humor and pathos, excavate brilliantly the latent desires and motivations that drive life forward. Eveningland is a luminous collection from "a writer of the first rank."(Esquire)Binding Type: Hardcover

Quality valet tray, darker brown
Color: Brown, Color: Brown
Sizing is as described and it is sturdy and well-made, but color is not quite as shown in the product images, more of a darker brown.

Absolute Gamechanger
Color: *Black
I went from casually dropping everything onto my nightstand in it’s designated spot to actually being able to store things neatly. The organization is insanely satisfying on top of just looking better than a bunch of loose items on a table. The size is quite large but you should know what you are getting. This tray offers a ton of storage for both small and large pocketable items. I even have a bit of extra room for my glasses or future EDC. Build quality is insanely solid and I have no qualms with how it functions. Worth the money.

Almost Great
Color: *Black
This is a better-quality night-table/desktop organizer with enough space to put most of your EDC or pocket items, including cell phones, chargers and even some jewelry. Definitely better than most others and worth the price. The only reason it didn't get a fifth star was the placement/ergonomics of the charges/wires. there are two (2) holes for wires for phones. There are more than enough spaces for phones, and other devices. The holes are just too small for more than 1 or 2 wires. not enough room. There is a great cut out on the size for pens, and another area for jewelry or cuff links. well thought out - but again, a tad small for today's user. Overall, well made, looks nice, can fit almost everything
