Nothing to Lose

By: Kim Suhr

Narrated by: Kim Suhr

Drawing on the rich complexity of the American Midwest, Kim Suhr peoples her debut book of fiction with characters that we know, carved out of the Wisconsin landscape and caught between expectation and desire.

An Iraq war veteran stalks the streets of Madison. Four drunk friends hunt deer outside of Antigo. A mother tries to save her son. A transplanted New Yorker plots revenge against her husband. A man sobers up and opens a paintball range for Jesus. A woman with nothing to lose waits for her first kiss.

Personal and powerful, Kim Suhr's Nothing to Lose shows us a region filled with real people: less than perfect, plagued with doubts, always reaching.

Great writing

These stories are very well written but they are very depressing for my taste. I would like to read about solutions and positive outcomes only two of the stories have that

Great Collection of Short Stories

Enjoyed these well-written, contemporary short stories. Interesting angles with relatable characters and real-life themes. Kim's narration, even the male voices, resonated. You don't have to live in Wisconsin to enjoy, but the settings added extra insight for me. The last story, Nothing to Lose, was my favorite.
