About This Book

"Sophisticated, charming, often nostalgic, and so artfully written that half the time you don't know that you are reading on of the best writers around."  ­--The Boston Globe
 
In her final collection, Alice Adams ranges from San Francisco to a North Carolina college town, to a run-down resort in Mexico. And  a grouping of four stories at the end follows a divorced psychiatrist in an arc that constitutes a short novel.
 
Included are: "His Women,"  "Great Sex,"  "Old Love Affairs," and  "The Drinking Club,"  "Patients, "The Wrong Mexico, " and "Earthquake Damage."
