Description
A newly single mother wrestles with the evidence of her son's love life during his Christmas vacation; an anxious husband persists in playing the host at his annual drinks party even though his marriage is in trouble and his wife mysteriously absent; a young man watches his widowed father become the toast of Manhattan's midlife dating scene while he struggles to find his own footing in life ... The characters in Tom Barbash's acclaimed collection explore the myriad ways we seek to connect with each other and the sometimes cruel world around us. In the classic tradition of John Cheever or Tobias Wolff, Barbash laces his narratives with sharp wit, psychological acuity and pathos, so that they pierce the heart and linger in the imagination. The break -- Balloon night -- Her words -- Howling at the moon -- Somebody's son -- How to fall -- Letters from the academy -- January -- Stay up with me -- Paris -- Spectator -- Birthday girl -- The women.
