  The Metal Shredders
by Nancy Zafris

BlueHen Books
320 pages, ISBN 0399149228

An offbeat, wise and witty debut novel from a Flannery O'Connor Award winner, set in the unlikely world of metal shredding.

John Bonner is sure that any time now he will recover from the sting of his recent separation from his wife. And he's begun to wonder if he truly wants to spend the rest of his days running the family scrap metal business, an operation where his employees are likely to have made the very license plates they now shred. His sister, Octavia, has just returned to Ohio from Boston to nurture the pain of her own broken relationship, and she is more certain: following in the footsteps of their imperious father is a recipe for emotional disaster.

But then two of John's more eccentric workmen discover thousands of dollars stashed in the trunk of a car, the remains of a drug deal gone bad. What to do with this unexpected cash draws John and his sister into the lives of their new-found collaborators, sending them all on a surprising journey of hijinks and the heart.

In The Metal Shredders, Nancy Zafris offers up a refreshingly wise, offbeat and thoroughly convincing look at blue-collar America. Hers is a world rich in humor, steeped in closely held traditions, and filled with gently endearing, slightly crazed characters trying to discover just who they are. In the process they discover much about love, loyalty, family obligation, class and, yes, scrap.

Industry reviews
"...THE METAL SHREDDERS...is often entertaining and illuminating....Zafris is an abundantly talented writer, but she seems to be shackled by conventional notions of how stories should be drawn to tidy conclusions."
New York Times Book Review - Ken Kalfus (08/25/2002)
