A superbly organized, poignant, and profound collection (The New York Times Book Review) that explores the delicate emotional negotiations of young New Yorkers in their struggle for intimacy--from the award-winning author of Evening.
The stories in Lust are beautiful evocations of betrayal and the resulting loneliness. . . . Spare, colloquial, understated--each has a striking identifying feature to set it apart.--Milwaukee Journal The sophisticated lawyers, artists, actors, and journalists who people these brilliant tales are in equal parts cynical and fragile. Ironic, realistic, yet unbelievably passionate, they find connectedness to be more complicated--and more elusive--than they had ever imagined. These stories uncover small moments that yield larger truths about the ways in which women and men come together and come apart again, about the disappointments and hopes of lovers who know what they want but don't always know how to keep it. With a flair for the telling detail and a sensibility finely attuned to the heart's deepest longings, Susan Minot has created a deeply thoughtful meditation on the nature of desire and loss.
