Some of Us Have to Get Up in the Morning

In this provocative and disquieting debut story collection, Daniel Scott portrays loss and the inexact communication of feelings between family members and among friends with a relentless honesty. Some of these stories have been published in national literary magazines, including Press, Confrontation, Story Quarterly, Clockwatch Review, and Southern Anthology. “Fellow Feeling” was nominated for a Pushcart Prize by the editors of Berkley Fiction Review.
