• A collection of stories by one of America’s most beloved & admired short-story writers that explores the passage of time & summons up its inevitable sorrows & hilarious pitfalls to reveal an exquisite, singular wisdom.
• “Uncanny…. Moving…. A powerful collection.” — The Washington Post
°°°
Here are people beset, burdened, buoyed; protected by raising teenage children; dating after divorce; facing the serious illness of a longtime friend; setting forth on a romantic assignation abroad, having it interrupted mid-trip, & coming to understand the larger ramifications & the impossibility of the connection … stories that show people coping with large dislocation in their lives, with risking a new path to answer the desire to be in relation — to someone.
