Rich Elliott

Duck and Cover Rich Elliott

Duck and Cover is a collection of short stories about growing up in the Sixties. The kids of Milford live in the greatest age ever. Life is fabulous! But if you look closer, you see that they are shadowed by dangers-the dark undercurrents of a rapidly changing world. One of Kirkus Reviews' Best Books of 2018: "Elliott writes with a supple, naturalistic style that's also psychologically rich . . . . The result is a vivid evocation of postwar America that's both halcyon and haunted." Duck and Cover-Sometimes humorous, sometimes dark, the short stories offer a mix of "The Wonder Years" and Hemingway's Nick Adams.
