But in his anthology of ten short stories, J. L. Larson shows a different side of the state via unique tales of conflict, adventure, and intrigue that often transport characters outside its borders. In July of 1970, at a benign looking intersection in the middle of Minnesota farmland, a fateful mishap occurs. Two drivers have just sped through the Sanborn Corners junction, not realizing that the intersection has earned a reputation as a bloody deathtrap. Now everyone wants answers to the grisly question: what brought each of these people to Sanborn Corners at precisely the same time? A paper company executive and his wife must now cope with an empty nest and the loss of his job. He's doing fine-until he receives a strange, late-night phone call that he will never forget regarding his nemesis from his old job. In tale after tale, Larson showcases eclectic characters who embark on adventures that include a disaster on a popular lake, an emotional confrontation in a university classroom, and a golf tournament that tests four men in unimaginable ways. The Accident at Sanborn Corners is an entertaining compilation of short stories that illustrate the diversity of a region and its residents as each attempt to cope with the unexpected in life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781475977752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 604\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.34d","brand":"J.
