註釋This collection of nine stories is a winner of Pushcart's annual editors' award for "overlooked manuscripts of enduring literary value." Writing with a quiet humor tinged by pathos, Schwartz chronicles the endless permutations of middle-class and Jewish despair. In "Mutatis Mutandis," a teenager's obsession with a scholar at a Jewish summer camp is evoked with precision and clarity. "A Tough Life" tells the tragic though funny story of a young girl's love for her hopelessly criminal uncle. "Double Lives" presents a couple whose marriage seems to have run out of steam. By turns dreamy and hard-edged, these stories are disturbing and, occasionally, profound. ISBN 0-916366-67-7: $18.95.
