<DIV><DIV><b>Nineteen funny and moving stories about the compromises and intimate struggles of modern life</b></div><BR><DIV>This collection of stories represents the best of Peter Cameron&rsquo;s work from the 1980s, much of it first published in the <i>New Yorker</i>, the<i> Kenyon Review</i>, and the<i> Yale Review. </i>In these richly layered stories, sophisticated urbanites and lonely drifters alike face down the sad limitations to their dreams. Highlights include the O. Henry Award&ndash;winning stories &ldquo;Excerpts from Swan Lake,&rdquo; about a young gay couple from New York coping with suburban suspicion, and &ldquo;Homework,&rdquo; about a boy yearning for the order of the classroom after &#160;cutting school to deal with the death of his dog.</div></div>
