E. Hinton takes her trademark themes to a new level in \u003cem\u003eSome of Tim's Stories\u003c\/em\u003e-fourteen original stories depicting adults trapped in lives of missed connections and opportunities. The stories in this collection merge into a larger narrative about two cousins, Terry and Mike, whose lives and families are intertwined but whose paths lead to very different futures: one in prison, the other enduring a guilt-ridden existence working in a bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tales are made especially distinctive in the telling. The \"author\" of the stories is a bartender named Tim-the \"Mike\" of his own narrative-whose idiosyncrasies are perfectly captured in Hinton's intriguing use of metafiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book also features exclusive interviews with Hinton conducted by Teresa Miller, host of public television's \u003cem\u003eWriting Out Loud\u003c\/em\u003e.
