<DIV><DIV><b>Two novellas from award-winning author Hortense Calisher offering very different journeys: the first looking hopefully forward, and the second, into a painful past</b></div><DIV><BR>The characters in these two novellas take introspective, poignant excursions both to where they want to be (<i>The Railway Police</i>) and where they have been (<i>The Last Trolley Ride</i>). In the first, a woman with hereditary premature baldness decides to embrace her unadorned head and hopes to start a fresh life without attachments to the trappings of days gone by. In the second, an elderly man with a working replica of a trolley line in his basement reminisces about the fateful last ride he took on that very line many years ago. In both stories, Calisher probes the characters&rsquo; senses of isolation from their respective worlds.</div><DIV></div></div>
