Description
"[A] stunning collection of tender and brilliant stories about the moments when life changes you-for the better, for the worse, for the outrageous. Every one of us lives like we're famous now, curating our social media presences, performing our identities, withholding those parts of ourselves we don't want others to see. And in each of these unforgettable stories, characters are confronted with their roles in life and find inspiration in the unlikeliest of places. In 'Mr. Voice,' a teenage girl struggles with the lesson from her beautiful, absent mother that her 'looks are like a bank account.' In 'Fran's Friend Has Cancer,' an elderly couple confronts the fiction writer eavesdropping on their conversation. In 'Town & Country,' an adult son in Boise,Idaho, must repeatedly come out to his senile father while looking for a place to care for the old man. A 'Famous Actor' in recovery has a one-night stand with an unexpected film critic. And in the romantic title story, a shy twenty-one-year-old studying Latin in Rome during 'the year of my reinvention' finds himself face-to-face with the Italian actress of his Hollywood-soaked adolescent dreams. Funny, poignant, full-hearted and redemptive, this highly anticipated collection of short fiction showcases the dazzling range enduring power of [Jess Walter's] characters and settings"--,Provided by publisher.
