"Noah Milligan possesses a concise mastery of language and a sharp lens through which he sees the world. The characters he delivers in Five Hundred Poor are at once vivid and impossible to ignore. They have both heart and soul. They challenged and inspired me."

— Jennifer Haupt, author of In the Shadow of 10,000 Hills

Five Hundred Poor

In Stores June 1st, 2018 from Central Avenue Publishing
From The Publisher
Picture
From acclaimed author, Noah Milligan, comes a short story collection, Five Hundred Poor. The title comes from Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations, “Wherever there is great property there is great inequality. For one very rich man there must be at least five hundred poor, and the affluence of the few supposes the indigence of the many. The affluence of the rich excites the indignation of the poor, who are often both driven by want, and prompted by envy, to invade his possessions.”

These are ten stories of those five hundred poor, the jaded, the disillusioned, and the disenfranchised.
