In "Other People We Married," Straub creates characters as
recognizable as a best friend, and follows them through moments of
triumph and transformation with wit, vulnerability, and dazzling
insight. In "Some People Must Really Fall in Love," an assistant
professor takes halting steps into the awkward world of office
politics while harboring feelings for a freshman student. Two
sisters struggle with old assumptions about each other as they
stumble to build a new relationship in "A Map of Modern Palm
Springs." In "Puttanesca," two widows move tentatively forward,
still surrounded by ghosts and disappointments from the past. These
twelve stories, filled with sharp humor, emotional acuity, and
joyful language, announce the arrival of a major new talent.
