These linked short stories, all set
in Nebraska, feature a range of
characters: a bus driver mourning the death of his infant, an
octogenarian preparing for death, a girl trying to cope with
her parents' divorce, and a woman whose obsession with a
decades-old crime has taken over her life. — from the publisher
A Catalogue of Everything in the World is truly that —
a vividly illustrating, achingly honest, and stunningly lyrical
examination of everything in these characters' hearts.
— Susan Straight, author of Highwire Moon
These lovely, evocative Nebraska stories in A Catalogue of
Everything in the World by Yelizaveta P Renfro are not only authentic
to the lyricism and vastness of the region but so true and dignifying of human
relationships and struggles in this very fine and wise collection.

Renfro's firm grasp of language and inventive use of space contributes enormously to the success of the fiction. — Alan Cheuse, author of
To Catch the Lightning
