In his new short story collection, 'Whirl Away', Russell Wangersky looks at what happens when people''s personal coping skills go awry. These are people who discover their anchor-chain has broken: characters safe in the world of self-deception or even self-delusion, forced to face the fact that their main line of defense has become their greatest weakness.

Winner of the Thomas Head Raddall Atlantic Fiction Award, 2013.
