Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It

stories


Eleven stories, featuring a love-struck young ranch hand, an aging Argentine lover, the ambivalent builders at a nuclear power plant, a self-involved grandmother who comes back from the dead, and two hitchhikers named Bonnie and Clyde.  In all of the stories, the characters are caught between opposing forces: between innocence and experience, impulse and stability, fidelity and desire.


“These stories, even in their simplicity, are so deep and involving that they forbid their readers to stop turning the pages.  Not only will you want to read this book in one sitting, you will want to read each story a second time—and a third.”
