Publisher's Synopsis
St. Louis, Leningrad, Santa Fe, Paris-no matter where these stories take us, we return to the inward experience of doubt, faith, love and unforeseen renewal. In the title story, we encounter a theater company struggling to come to terms with corruption on both sides of the Stage Door. "Blind" features a cello maker who discovers he is jealous of his wife's close friendship with her gay male hair stylist. In "We'll Meet Again," the conflict between a sister and brother comes to a head at their father's funeral. "La Casita" concerns a middle-aged painter who fears the loss of his patron who has a new boyfriend. "In This Economy" shows us another painter who drifts aimlessly around the world with his rich lover instead of painting. These characters confront crises-both spiritual and moral-at every turn. And find hope by staying fully engaged.
