Francine Prose`s first collection of stories displays her gift for revealing the mysteries and contradictions at the heart of contemporary life.
A young woman, disappointed by her lover, discovers that what you`d hoped was the start of your life could turn out to be a scene from someone else`s porn movie. A college professor is disturbed by his attraction to the physical therapist caring for his dying father. A Manhattan gallery owner baby-sitting her infant nephew watches herself pretending to be her suburban housewife sister.
With wit and compassion, Prose`s collection reminds us that nothing is as we`ve foreseen ... not even our own desires.
