In this second volume of short fiction, the author of A Leak in the Heart presents ten evocative stories of love and loneliness, marriage, misunderstanding, loss, and self-discovery. This description may be from another edition of this product.
Moskowitz's gift lies in telling what seem like small tales from an ordinary life, a life busy with living and dying, though by the time one is done reading, one sees she has caught the deep resonance within things. I think the word "tales" in the subtitle--a word Moskowitz has used for at least one other of her books as well--is a way of speaking to the ways in which these stories straddle the border between memoir, with its intimacy, and fiction, with its artistic shaping. The PW review above is nuts. I wish more of Moskowitz's work were in print. Get this!
