At The Copa By Marisa Labozzetta (Consignment )

This collection of stories employs humor and poignancy to expose the social and sexual turmoil between modern day men and women. With keen observations of American culture, these tales feature a mother’s sexual legacy that traps her daughter, a restless dentist discovering an unlikely cure to his ailments, a seemingly happily married suburbanite receiving a jolt of sexual panic when visited by a woman selling knives, and a World War II–era couple meeting after 50 years with stunning results. Insightful and moving, the unique voice that unites this collection leaves a lasting impression.
