Description:
<DIV><DIV><b>&ldquo;Spare, poised stories in a fashionably narrow range of the minor keys, with carefully plucked chords of foreboding and loss strumming just under the surface.&rdquo; &mdash;<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b></div><BR><DIV>Peter Cameron&rsquo;s first collection of short stories, published while he was in his mid-twenties, marks the auspicious &#160;debut of a rare talent. Here characters act on lies they spin to protect themselves, &#160;or to protect others. In &ldquo;What Do People Do All Day?&rdquo;, a child gamely stalls a father&rsquo;s confession of adultery. The heroine of &ldquo;Fast Forward&rdquo; tells her dying mother that she&rsquo;s engaged&mdash;a lie designed to give the old woman a final few days of happiness. And in &ldquo;Memorial Day,&rdquo; a teenage boy struggles to adjust to his mother&rsquo;s new husband, a stepfather only thirteen years his senior.</div></div>
