The broad range of characters in William Cass's moving second short story collection, Uncommon & Other Stories, all share a fascination with right action—how we know it, when we know it, and what that knowledge asks of us—in real time or in retrospect. Cass's stories are deeply rooted in the particularities of daily life and of nature—whether how to run a small inn in Arizona, harvest hay in Montana, mend an old woman's decaying picket fence, feed oneself through a stomach tube, teach an abandoned child how to garden, rob your neighbors' vacation homes. Even in regret, there is a bracing affirmation, however delayed, that other choices were possible, and that we are graced by this knowledge, however uncomfortable it may also be. As one narrator explains, "Now as I enter this final chapter of life, I'm struck at how much of it has been made up of encounters and events like those—many random and seemingly small, some involving choices or control and others not—and how their meaning remains mysterious, indelible, confounding, fervent."
