Overview

Penned by the multitalented Gloria Vanderbilt herself, this collection features stories that are touching, surprising, and told in a beautifully calibrated prose. The tales seize upon brief moments that are resonant with the random static of everyday disaster, illustrating characters who merely step into a room to find that everything in their lives has been inexplicably reversed. Engaging and enigmatic, this anthology relates powerful narratives of passionate love as well as compelling defeat.

Reviews

"These stories are like fairy tales, cruel and ineffable."  —Joyce Carol Oates, author, Sourland

"May be the steamiest book ever written by an octogenarian."  —New York Times on Obsession


"A remarkable tapestry of human passion—an interior world of highly charged erotic mysteries that teasingly suggest, but ever elude, decoding."  —Joyce Carol Oates, author, Sourland on Obsession
