A staggering, unnerving story collection about the lost members of the Boomer Generation—chronic underachievers at work and love whose malaise is tempered by booze and cars. They seek solace in each other's company via weekend trips and wine-fuelled dinner parties when not conducting interventions or fixing their cars; through moments of seeming indifference, humor, and false bravado, their demeanors mask a disquieting rage at how they've lost their way and a burning, shattering desire to try to find it again.

Dennis E. Bolen's seventh work of fiction shows a writer at the top of his game ... Anticipated Results dances with clever language that both mocks and questions a generation's legacy. Boomers will see themselves in this cast of characters, and other generations will get an idea of how the Boomers' idealism went sideways. —Quill and Quire (STARRED REVIEW)
Bolen’s spare language and elliptical narrative style recall Raymond Carver, one of the masters of the modern short story.
