Five Hundred Poor: Stories

"An honest glimpse at how the other half lives and how the other half dies that should inspire us to try harder."—Jared Yates Sexton, author of The People Are Going To Rise Like The Waters Upon Your Shore

From acclaimed author, Noah Milligan, comes a short story collection, Five Hundred Poor. The title comes from Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations, "Wherever there is great property there is great inequality. For one very rich man there must be at least five hundred poor, and the affluence of the few supposes the indigence of the many. The affluence of the rich excites the indignation of the poor, who are often both driven by want, and prompted by envy, to invade his possessions."

These are ten stories of those five hundred poor, the jaded, the disillusioned, and the disenfranchised.

"Noah Milligan writes about Oklahoma in such an uncanny, dark, compelling way."—Brandon Hobson, author of Where The Dead Sit Talking
