At The Copa

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.
