<DIV><b>A rich and diverse collection of stories detailing life in all its daily battles and yearnings </b></div><DIV><BR>Lynne Sharon Schwartz is a master of tone, deft at creating realistic settings and characters. In <i>Acquainted with the Night</i>, she unleashes sixteen wickedly smart, wholly believable short stories. In the title story, for instance, a man&rsquo;s nocturnal battle against a floating globule in his eye forces him to question his very state of being. In &ldquo;Mrs. Saunders Writes to the World,&rdquo; an anonymous old woman attempts to force people to know her first name by writing &ldquo;FRANNY&rdquo; in big red letters all over her neighborhood. In another, a girl must to deal with the increasingly juvenile actions of her divorced mother.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>By turns darkly humorous, moving, and witty, <i>Acquainted with the Night</i> demonstrates Schwartz&rsquo;s genius for detail.</div>
