Winner of the AWP Grace Paley Prize for Short Fiction

The stories of Adam Peterson's funny, daring, and deliciously outrageous debut Any Time But This Time span our history and confront our future. From the first woman on Earth grieving among the Neanderthals to the last man alive nursing the dying flame of love, this collection moves across human history and geography to reveal us at our best and lament our worst. Jesus declares himself a superhero. Lost sailors launch an ill-fated attempt to colonize medieval England. A young woman fights to commandeer the founding of America. A pioneer's wife satisfies her endless sexual appetite in barren Nebraska. Children hurtle into space to confront alien life--even though they really, really just want love. For fans of George Saunders and Kelly Link, these voices, unbound by time and undaunted by consequence, show us that there are truly no limits to what a short story--so long as it centers our relentless human heart--can do.
