Like a Champion

by Vincent Chu

"Vincent Chu's work is funny and big-hearted, like the best short stories from Sherman Alexie, imbued with a generosity and warmth that reminds us that moments of glory can happen when we least expect it. In eighteen stories that shine a light on people far from champions, Like a champion is an ode to the underdogs and long shots, sad office partes and one-sided basketball games, disappointed worker bees and hopeful lovers"--Page 4 of cover.

I devoured these stories, couldn't stop reading. They are full of heart, insight, and perspective. The main characters are messy and flawed, some lovable, others downright unlikable. But we're always given a glimpse into what makes people speak and behave the way they do. No excuses for bad behavior or hurtful words (and they are there), just a gentle offering to see people as they are, but with a different lens.
