Description
This masterful collection of eight stories examines the strange, comic, and painful ways people navigate love, loss, divorce, aging, illness, and political upheaval. From fractured relationships and missed opportunities to haunted friendships and the lingering aftermath of national tragedy, its characters confront moments of profound dislocation while searching for connection and renewal. With sharp social observation, mordant humor, and deep emotional intelligence, the stories balance the absurdities of contemporary American life against its most vulnerable human truths. The result is a poignant, darkly funny portrait of people trying to make sense of change—and of one another.
