Review Quotes:
"Peter LaSalle's stories, set in wonderfully various settings--Buenos Aires, New York, Paris, Chicago--are rich in their delineation of our private lives and loves, and in those moments in which, by ourselves or with others, we live most deeply. These haunting tales are shrewdly original, disarmingly complex, and--always, always, since LaSalle is one of our finest storytellers--as beautifully crafted as they are memorable." --Jay Neugeboren, author of You Are My Heart and Other Stories
