In these linked novellas in which characters walk out the back door
of one story and into the next, love is "dirty" tangled up with
need, power, boredom, ego, fear, and fantasy. On the Massachusetts
coast north of Boston, a controlling manager, Mark, discovers his
wife's infidelity after twenty-five years of marriage. An
overweight young woman, Marla, gains a romantic partner but loses
her innocence. A philandering bartender/aspiring poet, Robert,
betrays his pregnant wife. And in the stunning title novella, a
teenage girl named Devon, fleeing a dirty image of her posted
online, seeks respect in the eyes of her widowed great-uncle
Francis and of an Iraq vet she s met surfing the Web.
Slivered by happiness and discontent, aging and death, but also
persistent hope and forgiveness, these beautifully wrought
narratives express extraordinary tenderness toward human beings,
our vulnerable hearts and bodies, our fulfilling and unfulfilling
lives alone and with others."
