Idling away in punk rock uniforms, with glowing cigarette coals warming their dry knuckles, teens and twenty-somethings gather nightly along the curbs of Jersey streets. The Suburban Swindle, a short story collection by Jackie Corley, depicts the wander-lust of a generation of kids piecing together their lives in a world moving too fast to stop and give them directions. They are the bored, the lonely, the hopeful, the helpless and the redeemed young adults of suburbia.
