Mr. Agreeable is a collection of flash and sudden fictions, featuring keyhole glimpses of lives at the edge, of characters haunted by shadowy pasts, caught at pivotal moments and braced for what lies ahead. Burdened and bent in their various ways, Nesset s figures are led forward by others by strangers, assailants, ambiguous friends and and are finally nudged toward awareness or tentative insight, if not moved to action. Gathered together, the stories comprise a twisted collage, sometimes hilarious, sometimes unsettling, often hilariously unsettling. Stories from Mr. Agreeable have been anthologized widely, appearing in The Pushcart Prize: Best of the Small Presses, in Norton s Flash Fiction Forward and New Sudden Fiction, and elsewhere.
