The Woods, described by the Chicago Daily News as a beautifully conceived love story,” is a modern dramatic parable in which a young man and woman who spend a night in his family’s cabin experience passion, then disillusionment, but are in the end reconciled by mutual need. In Lakeboat, eight crew members aboard a merchant ship exchange their wild fantasies about sex, gambling, and violence. In Edmond, a man set morally adrift leaves anunfulfilling marriage to find sex, adventure, companionship, and, ultimately, the meaning of his existence.
