Описание: Both the beauty and frailty of human connections are seen in the thirteen stories collected in Sympathetic People. Here are women and men struggling to find love, meaning, happiness in marriage, adulterous affairs, art, meditation, and even the passage from life to death. Longing generated by loss is everywhere--in the death of a son, the end of a marriage, the slide from hope ignited by Neil Armstrongs moon walk to hopelessness after President Kennedys death. In Hindsight, Jessie, a hippie in Lawrence, Kansas, opts for what she assumes is stability in a world of change, only to be brought up short years later when her life veers off its predicted path. The Secrets of Snakes reveals the early ruptures in a marriage and a wifes futile attempts to stop them even as she tries to care for her sons pet racer. In The Jewel Box, a grandmother promises to let her granddaughter know what Heaven is like after she passes and if, in fact, it looks like the Art Deco greenhouse built in St. Louis during the 1904 Worlds Fair. And in Versions, a newlywed in Plano, Texas, entertains her sometimes angry husbands first wife and realizes too late what she has given up in choosing him. The Second Time the Bird Escapes brings the collection full circle as a woman vies for attention with her husbands new girlfriend and watches a peacock race across the yard to freedom, its dazzling tail open like an invitation.
