Publisher's Synopsis
From Anxiety Press
"M.C. Schmidt's fiction is an indelible blend of humor, pathos, and social commentary. The stories in this collection feel like rituals of magnified human experience; I'll return to them again and again, always discovering a new pleasure or insight."
-Alissa Nutting, author of Made for Love and Tampa
"The stories in M.C. Schmidt's How to Steal a Train are consistently excellent and pulse with pitch-perfect dialogue, superbly executed tension, and expose the metaphorical (and in some cases literal) masks we wear in our everyday lives. But, most importantly, each piece is its own unique and honest form of an archeological dig into what it means to be human. How to Steal a Train is a glorious literary achievement!"
- Nicholas Claro, author of This Is Where You Are
