| - Nothing Very Important and Other Stories is a collection of interconnected short stories written by Béla Petsco and self-published in 1979 with illustrations by his friend Kathryn Clark-Spencer. The stories are about missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) working in Southern California. Signature Books reprinted the book in 1984 under their Orion imprint. Petsco wrote the stories for his master's thesis at Brigham Young University (BYU). The book won the 1979 Association for Mormon Letters award for short fiction. The stories were adapted for theater and performed in 1983, but without BYU's endorsement. Critical reception of the book was mostly positive, and the work was hailed as an important work by and about a Latter-day Saint written by someone raised outside the Wasatch Front. Reviewers remarked that the book used realism to show a truthful but sometimes painful picture of Mormonism. (en)
