About the Book
The Skyscraper that Flew and Other Stories (Arte Público Press, 2005) features an enormous crystal skyscraper that mysteriously appears in the middle of a baseball field to a repair shop in town that advertises "We Fix Anything"—and even extends the offer to broken hearts-this collection of short stories, chock-full of offbeat events. It is the sequel to The Fabulous Sinkhole and Other Stories (Arte Público Press, 1995).
