In "Fun with Problems", Robert Stone demonstrates once again that
he is "one of our greatest living writers" ("Los Angeles Times").
The stories in this new collection share the signature blend of
longing, violence, and black humour with which Stone illuminates
the dark corners of the human soul. Entire lives are laid bare with
remarkable precision, in captivating prose: a screenwriter carries
on a decades-long affair with a beautiful actress, whose descent
into addiction he can neither turn from nor share; a bored husband
picks up a mysterious woman only to find that his ego has led him
woefully astray; a world-beating Silicon Valley executive receives
an unwelcome guest at his mansion in the hills; and, a scuba dive
takes uneasy newlyweds to a point of no return. "Fun with Problems"
showcases Stone's great gift: to pinpoint and make real the
impulses - by turns violently coercive and quietly seductive - that
cause us to conceal, reveal, and betray our truest selves.
