Abstract
The Things We Know is a collection of six short stories that revolve around the basic reality of white, male, suburban rage: what it means to feel culpable, responsible, and, ultimately, ineffective. The collection's protagonists, all but one of which is revealed through the first-person, range from the pre-adolescent to the middle-aged and offer up, rather than answers to the questions that plague this state of being, glimpses into the mind of the storyteller himself, examining what is revealed, what is known, and, perhaps most importantly, what is utterly unknowable.
