'The more stories I [went back to] read,' he continues, 'the more kinds of love and lovers began to move in around me and demand attention.'

[jacket copy] Contributors include John Cheever, Mary Gaitskill, Gabriel García Márquez, Alice Munro, William Maxwell, Jean Rhys, Michael Chabon, Edna O'Brien & Ann Beattie.
