EPIPHANY & OTHER STORIES

These eight tales range in scale from the novella-length to the minimalist, and in setting from Paris and Munich to London and several unidentified English cities. They explore diverse aspects of the relationship between men and women, both inside and outside marriage. They are by turns poignant, disturbing, chilling, ironical, humorous. - An academic and part-time writer resumes an affair that ended fifteen years before. - A schoolteacher leaves his wife but continues to live in the matrimonial home. - A victim of harassment by an ex-lover is attracted by the female detective sent to investigate the case. - A financial adviser is spied on at home and stalked on her way to work. - A divorced accountant wakes up with a hangover and can recall neither which day it is nor what he did the night before. - A hotel guest spends the night with the waitress who served him in the bar.
