Drive-Thru Shoes

On a sweltering summer day near Reading Pennsylvania, the mundane lives of four Payless ShoeSource employees are forever altered and enriched when an unlikely accident occurs. Throughout, Drive-Thru Shoes is an examination of the smaller simpler moments of everyday minimum-wage life, where frustrations and disappointments of love and work are commonplace, but it is also a vivid picture of how the unexpected is ultimately the true boss of us all. Bittersweet in its honesty, entertaining in its peculiarity, this novella charms with both tension and action, pessimism and hope.

Steven Brandsdorfer wears a size eleven shoe last he checked. He lives in Philadelphia where he no longer labors in retail. Drive-Thru Shoes is his second work of fiction. His debut novel The Never Fable was released in 2012.
