- Synopsis
- These short stories by contemporary authors share the common theme of adultery, but they vary wildly in style, setting, and perspective. Some of the contributing authors are well-known - John Updike, T. Coraghessan Boyle, Richard Yates - while others are relative newcomers. Most of the stories are introspective, exploring the nuances of relationships and the complexities of a character's inner life. In Abby Bardi's "My Wild Life" a teenage circus performer is seduced by a married farmer from her audience. Charles W. Harvey examines a man's denial about his sexuality in "When Dogs Bark." In "No Pain Whatsoever" by Richard Yates, a woman visits her husband in a TB sanatorium while her lover waits outside.
