The Answer and Other Love Stories

Unsettling, beautiful, and laced with dark humor and tenderness, The Answer and Other Love Stories explores the inner lives of people who live as neighbors, pass each other on the street, and work side by side. Whether a man who is subtly altered by the accident that could have taken his life, or another who copes with fire and loss by rejecting the world he knows, or the woman who keeps her brand-new car in her garage without ever once letting it see the light of day, this novel tells the stories of people dislocated from the worlds in which they find themselves and prompts readers to ask themselves how well they really know themselves and those around them.
