About the book
\"The
essential mystery at the heart of every relationship is the subject of these
twelve stories. What drives people together? What drives them apart? Revenge,
boredom, sex—they're all here. . . . The landscape of the heart depicted here
is less bleak than it sounds; what drives these stories is the belief that love
is reachable just around the bend.\" —Entertainment Weekly
Richard Bausch is a master of the intimate moment, of the ways we seek to make lasting connections to one another and to the world. Few writers evoke the complexities of love as subtly, and few capture the poignancy of the sudden insight or the rhythms of ordinary conversation with such delicacy and humor. To read these twelve stories—of love and loss, of families and strangers, of small moments and enormous epiphanies—is to be reminded again of the power of short fiction to thrill and move us, to make us laugh, or cry. In these profound glimpses into the private fears, joys, and sorrows of people we know, we find revealed a whole range of human experience, told with extraordinary force, clarity, and compassion.
