Boston, MA: Houghton Mifflin / Seymour Lawrence (1989)

First Edition. Signed.

Very near fine in dust jacket with some minor scuffing which is typical of the black dust jacket.

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.
