The critically acclaimed author of 'The Mourner's Bench' presents love in its many varied and often mysterious forms in this graceful collection.
An eccentric endodontist repairs a patient's broken heart while performing a root canal. A shy illustrator subsists through a long Vermont winter on occasional glimpses of a man in a blue pickup truck. Settings ranging from a desolate island in winter to a broken-down city bus at rush hour are the locales for love's unlikely - and often inconvenient - landings in these ten diverse and uncommon stories.
Whether Dodd's characters are on the lookout or on the lam, love is what maps their migrations. The sound of their yearnings, muted yet distinct, will linger in the reader's heart long after the last page has been turned.
