Diner Tales

In the quiet, neon-lit hours between midnight and dawn, a local diner in Vancouver, Washington, becomes a sanctuary for the restless. Diner Tales: A Contemporary Canterbury Anthology reimagines Chaucer's classic structure for the modern age, bringing together a diverse cast of "e;insomniac pilgrims"e; who find themselves sharing more than just coffee.From a battle-worn MMA fighter and a high-stakes lawyer to a rodeo cowgirl and a weary street kid, each character delivers a "e;portrait"e; of their life, revealing the hidden extraordinary within the seemingly mundane. Bound together by the rainy Pacific Northwest night and a shared sense of searching, these strangers weave a tapestry of human experience that is at once gritty, humorous, and deeply spiritual.Written with the sharp observation of a seasoned adventurer, Andy R. Bunch explores the stories we tell ourselves to survive and the unexpected connections that emerge when the rest of the world is asleep. Diner Tales is an invitation to pull up a chair, pour a cup of joe, and discover that no one is truly a stranger once their story is told.
