People search for meaning in Cairo, Buffalo, and beyond in Street’s debut collection of stories and essays. The author, who died in 2012, left behind an impressive body of short fiction, which is assembled here along with a number of personal essays. Several of the stories are set in Egypt, where Street taught for four years at the American University in Cairo. In one, a couple from New York on the verge of a breakup share a cafe with a corpse wrapped in a white sheet.
