Sinopsis

A nearly forgotten literary lion in winter, holding forth in a nursing home in New York City while a pair of media players hover around him mysteriously, a frustrated would-be impresario struggling on the fringes of nineteen-fifties popular music, a persevering cat whose adventures seem to embody a mysterious metaphor of survival, a buttoned-down engineer and his desperate gamble, these and other characters inhabit an unusual debut collection of fictional writing. Often moving and emotionally nuanced, at other times the author?s language is topical and essay-like. Satirical passages, provoked by the cultural scene or world events, are unusually perceptive and savage. Antic humor co-exists with the dramatic in this collection which features a short novel and stories.
