Abstract:
Twenty-seven stories on subjects ranging from solitude to unhappy marriages, to sports. The Last Pool is on a fisherman's battle with a salmon, while Lying in the Sun paraphrases a husband's innermost thoughts as he sunbathes with his wife: If only she would go away he would be quite fond of her. By the author of The Wine-Dark Sea.
