With such citizens, what would it take to get their attention?
Anders Flagstad's new collection of short stories and novellas - Spare Parts - is an answer of sorts and San Francisco is the city, of course, always The City by the bay.
Spare Parts is book one of series - Principal Parts - a set of interconnected books and characters about San Franciscans and how they got that way and what they do to stay that way and where they expect to go with all this stuff they're doing. The second book is a novel - Thad Says Parts is Parts (and Thad is Right).
