Fiction
These eleven arresting, comic, and moving stories by
acclaimed writer Michael Parker testify to the driving force
of love, the lengths to which we’ll go to claim it and
pursue it, the delusions we’ll float to keep it going, the
torment that goes part and parcel with it. And despite all
of the above, the absolute necessity of it, no matter its
consequences. Whether it’s a college student undone by the boy who leaves
her, or the boyfriend intent on leveling old scores from
high school for his lover, or the husband who discovers—in
the grocery store—the woman he should have been with all
along, every character, no matter how off track, wants to
believe in debt and credit and payback and making the messy
world—and the messy world of love—turn out neatly.
