A couple who bets it all on the ponies, a visit from a traveling salesman, a grocer who has to pick up the pieces of his ransacked store and his life, a son whose mother is trying to burn down a city with a few gallons of gas, and a man who travels to Topeka, Kansas to learn about the death of his estranged father…

Consisting of five stories, These Things Do Happen, is the first collection from Ian Anderson. Each story in this debut collection focuses on characters who believe their best days are either ahead of them or behind them, but certainly not today, and how these feelings affect their immediate relationships.
