A brilliant collection of stories, which illuminate with unflinching vision and hard-earned compassion a great variety of lives. In 'Star Baby' a gay man leaves the big city for life in his hometown, only to find himself cast as a father figure to his detoxing sister's young son; In 'The Crazy Thought' a woman chafes at life after the departure of the husband she never imagined leaving her; and in the title story an embittered dean loses his wife, child, and student lover.
'The Wonders of the Invisible World' is often bleak but always funny, usually centring around disintegrating relationships but covering the broad sweep of contemporary life in America.
