Winner of the Flannery O'Connor Award, Antonya Nelson's debut collection of stories displays the off-beat perceptions, the humor, and the sensibility that have won the author not only critical acclaim but a host of devoted readers.
Most of the stories in The Expendables are about marriage -- marriage in process, about to be, about not to be anymore, possibly transgressed, and decidedly not transgressed. In the title story, a teenage boy participates in the spectacle of his sister's second marriage. In Dog Problems, a husband muses about his wife's attachment to her dog, a bond that predates their marriage and will -- he fears -- outlast it. There is the woman in Affair Life, happily encircled by her husband and child, who still must choose between her marriage and what is not quite yet an infidelity. Ranging in setting from Atlanta to Chicago and Kansas City, from the arid Southwest to the course of a river running through Colorado canyon walls, the stories in The Expendables show our relationship with destiny, whether resisted, invented, obeyed, or forced.

Smooth, plump oysters with great taste....
I've tried several smoked oyster brands, and this is the best by far. Not as many chewy bits as some brands. Plump and smooth oysters with a great taste. The chili pepper isn't extreme. Very happy with purchase.

Otter Kingdom Premium Smoked Oysters with Red Chili Pepper in Pure Olive Oil, 3-Ounce Pack of 12
They were shipped in a box that prevented any damage and they arrived promptly after I ordered them. These Otter Kingdom Premium Smoked Oysters with Red Peppers in Pure Olive Oil are excellent quality oysters. I have loved oysters for decades and I have tried several brands of all types of smoked. I gave the Otter Kingdom brand a try because I like a little red pepper spice in foods. These have an amazing flavor with heat that doesn't burn and a nice spicy flavor. It definitely enhances the smoked flavor of these oysters. I went through half the box in a few days. I will be buying these again soon. P.S. After several cans they definitely have a nice kick. Especially if you want some heat without losing the desire to keep eating them. Worth every penny. I set them up to come every three months.

Extra spicy + high quality
Super high-quality. Only four stars because they should say extra extra spicy. Wow. Putting hot sauce on these might cool them off!
