The recipient of the Pushcart Prize, O. Henry Award, and Plimpton Discovery Prize, Ottessa Moshfegh saw her novel Eileen shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. "No Place for Good People" is drawn from the author's collection of "expertly crafted stories" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). After decades of working with his father-in-law and witnessing the outfitting of his home with possessions he doesn't care for, Larry fully realizes how little he loves his wife after she dies unexpectedly. But life only continues in a similar vein when Larry, having taken work in a facility for adults with moderate developmental disabilities, takes his charges on an ill-fated field trip to Hooters.
