In his second collection of short fiction, Richard Ford captures relationships at complex and essential moments of truth - exploring the obscure difference between privacy and intimacy, the fine distinction of pleasing another as opposed to oneself, and the need for reliance tempered by fearful vulnerability. The three stories take us from the plains of Montana, to the streets of Paris, to the suburbs of Chicago. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

From the Publisher:
This is perfect. Richard Ford has one of those voices that stays in your mind long after the play button stops. Listening to the author tell you his story "Jealous" is a wonderful way to spend 90 minutes.

Read by the Author
Richard Ford's Independence Day--his sequel to The Sportswriter, and an international bestseller--is the only novel ever to have received both the Pulitzer Prize and the PEN/Faulkner Award. Now, two years later, he reaffirms his mastery of shorter fiction with his first collection since the widely acclaimed Rock Springs, published a decade ago.
In this one long story, Richard Ford captures men and women at this complex and essential moment of truth. And with peerless emotional nuance and authority he once again demonstrates, as Elizabeth Hardwick has written, "a talent as strong and varied as American fiction has to offer."
