Stories about ordinary people with extraordinary inner lives

Where do people go when they drift off, a glazed far-away look in their eyes? They've slipped into invisible dimensions, the solitary worlds people inhabit within themselves, their unshareable places. What makes Gail Godwin's short story collection such an astounding delight is the way she finds, not only to follow her characters to their secret places, but to also open the door so we can follow, too.
