A dapper Paris doctor and his treatment for dissatisfied wives. A mother auditions for her first porn movie. A writer working on a study of pain makes himself the subject of his experiments. A voyeur mistakes a murderer for a fellow peeing tom. A Seville girl stood up by her lover. A football star's wife who loses patience with her waiting role. A woman who gives her heart to a ghost.

These are some of the characters we get to know quite intimately through the shrewd, sardonic eye of the narrator of these stories, almost every one of which recounts his observation of his own friends at a moment of crisis in their lives. The stories in this collection share a common feature: the macabre - and a common tone, a gentle irony. The vision in these stories is calm and ruthlessly focused.
