Product DescriptionThis fine debut of twelve stories explores a topography of the interior, probing the thoughts, motivations, and littleunderstood impulses behind moments of aggression, jealousy, and loneliness. Turning her eye on the academic landscape as well as the workaday world, Frucht keenly observes people forging friendships, groping for greater selfunderstanding, and attempting to find meaning in their lives and loves.Whether writing about a couple trying to conceive a muchwanted child or a lonely husband mourning the changing political attitudes of his wife, Frucht brings her characters and their lives into memorable focus. She builds a fictional world that resonates with the immediate and the familiar.Although many books of contemporary fiction document the ways people often fail to communicate, the essential quality of Abby Frucht's characters is that they do communicateconnectand gain part of what they want from life as a result. These stories are never about despair without also being about hope. They speak to each other as playfully and accidentally as memories do.Review'In Abby Frucht's perceptive short stories, the details of everyday domestic life expand into halfsuggested depths of meaning that can transform ordinary situations and relationships into something serious and universal.'Alison Lurie'Frucht is a talented young writer, and [her stories'] resonances will linger in the reader's mind.'Publishers Weekly
