Lust and Other Stories
“A searing exploration of male-female relationships. Although the title of her most recent effort suggests a steamy sensuality, the tone is more one of sexual license…Men remain emotionally distant and unwilling to commit throughout these twelve short stories, while women attempt to hold back…Her stories are insightful and worldly wise, cynical about love but unable to escape its lure.”

The author of Monkeys and Evening focuses her observant eye and lyrical voice on the delicate emotional negotiations of young New Yorkers. As in a series of deceptively simple watercolors, these stories uncover small moments that yield larger truths—about the ways in which women and men come together and come apart again, about the disappointments and hopes of lovers who know what they want but don’t always know how to keep. A deeply poignant meditation on the nature of desire and loss.
